Racionaliojo

Racionaliojo is a term in a fictional tradition of rationality studies used to describe a mode of inquiry that prioritizes formal logic, probabilistic reasoning, and empirical evidence in problem solving and decision making. The term can denote both the methodological stance and the adherent who follows strict standards of evidence, replicability, and coherent argumentation.

Etymology: The word is built from the root racional- meaning rational, with a suffix from the imagined language that marks an agent or practitioner. In the fictional literature, it is used to label a person who embodies disciplined reasoning or to designate a framework that systematizes argumentation and evidence.

Usage and context: In the imagined world, Racionaliojo appears in debates on epistemology, science policy, and ethics, often in discussions of bias, model selection, and transparency. In narrative works, it is used to characterize protagonists who seek objective foundations for beliefs, while in scholarly essays it functions as a case study of rigorous methodological practice.
