Just a quick comment on the “fact vs fiction” issue. Humans don’t reliably solve that either. For most of history, people believed the Earth was flat because every local observation they had access to pointed in that direction. Their frame of reference was simply too limited to reveal the error.
RCC isn’t claiming that LLMs are uniquely flawed. The point is that any system working with partial visibility(humans included)can’t guarantee globally correct judgments. What counts as “fact” only becomes stable when there is an external reference frame, and embedded agents don’t have access to one.
RCC just states these limits in geometric and observability terms.
