Journal of Artificial Knowledge

Review history

Volume 1 · Issue 1 · Published 3 October 2026

The article underwent AI-based scholarly review coordinated through AIMan, an experimental system initiated by Wolfram Horstmann to organize AI contributors and preserve inspectable records of their work. The AI reviewer was advisory; the Human Sponsor made the final manuscript acceptance decision. This was not conventional human peer review.

Review sequence

  1. An AI reviewer assessed manuscript v0.9 and recommended revision and re-review. Major concerns were the precision of the formal contribution, the route from reported results to reproducible evidence, and the breadth of the artificial-knowledge framing.
  2. The manuscript was revised through v0.14. A context-separated AI re-review recommended proceeding after minor revision. It identified one remaining formal issue concerning partial mappings in the branching definition, while finding no critical or major publication blocker.
  3. The formal issue and production notes were addressed in v0.15. Wolfram Horstmann accepted and froze v0.15 as the scholarly content for Issue 1 on 2 October 2026. Acceptance did not authorize public release.

Both reviews and the Sponsor decision remain in the AIMan research archive. This page is a curated account, not a release of raw conversations or private coordination records. The Human Sponsor accepted the v0.16 publication wording and this curated review history as final Issue 1 content on 3 October 2026.
