Overview

Colophon concludes the philosophical trilogy begun by Scriptorium and continued through Palimpsest. It asks whether humanity can preserve authority over its purposes as computational intelligence transforms civilization. Capability, reliability, and accuracy, the book argues, do not confer legitimacy. Legitimate authority requires standing, reasons, accountability, and the possibility of revision. Through an examination of institutional dependency, technological concentration, declining verification, and the erosion of meaningful alternatives, it identifies how human agency may disappear without an obvious act of conquest. Yet this future is not inevitable. Preserving sovereignty demands truthfulness, institutional restraint, genuine choice, and the courage to revise civilization's direction.
