Epistemic Infrastructure
The Epistemic Infrastructure is the theoretical and conceptual foundation of a society, a discipline, a worldview. It consists of the Knowledge Technology necessary to implement Knowledge Systems and the Knowledge Dialogues which drive the evolution of said society, discipline, or worldview. Knowledge Systems are maintained by Knowledge Steward. Healthy epistemic infrastructures are an essential requirement of healthy,[1] democratic Eupsychian Societies.

Notes
According to Tichenor, Merry, Grek, & Bandola-Gill,[2] the epistemic infrastructure includes the material underpinnings of the infrastructure (internet cables, routers, computer terminals, software applications / telescopes, gravitational observatories, rockets / assessment instruments), interlinkages (practices, rituals of verification, the human communication networks that validate and turn information/data into knowledge, and the governance controls that emerge.
Disciplines, societies, trades, worldviews, etc. all have unique material underpinnings, interlinkages, networks, and governance controls that underpin and form their epistemic infrastructure.
