The '''Science Intelligence Engine'''<ref>https://thomaskuhnfoundation.org/kgx3-api</ref>—marketed commercially as the '''KGX3 API''' (Knowledge Graph X3 Application Programming Interface)—is a computational platform developed by the [[Thomas Kuhn Foundation]]. Functioning as a prototypical [[epistemic infrastructure]], the system is designed to map the evolution of [[scientific paradigms]] in real-time, providing the global research community with what its architects describe as "the means to see itself."

==Notes==

<kimi>
As an instrument of [[epistemic control]], the Science Intelligence Engine operates not merely as a passive archival or communicative system, but as an active, generative architecture that quantifies, visualizes, and regulates the development of ideas across disciplinary boundaries. The platform renders the otherwise invisible structures of knowledge production visible by tracking the emergence, consolidation, and decay of theoretical frameworks, thereby enabling forms of [[scientific metacognition]] that were previously unobtainable.<ref>Thomas Kuhn Foundation, "Building an Intelligence Infrastructure for Science," ''The Scholarly Kitchen'', December 3, 2025, https://scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2025/12/03/guest-post-building-an-intelligence-infrastructure-for-science/.</ref>

The system exemplifies the infrastructuralization of [[knowledge governance]] in the twenty-first century. By embedding evaluative algorithms and paradigmatic classification protocols directly into scientific workflows, the KGX3 API establishes the metrics and visualization standards that determine how research programs become legible, how they are positioned relative to one another within the global [[epistemic economy]], and how their "progress" is calculated and governed.<ref>Ibid.</ref>

The Foundation articulates this shift as a move beyond physical or digital infrastructure toward the construction of "the epistemic infrastructure that allows knowledge to flourish"—a regime where the tools of inquiry simultaneously function as instruments for the surveillance, management, and optimization of inquiry itself.<ref>Ibid.</ref>
