N2LAB is a nonprofit research initiative studying how narratives form, propagate, and distort modern information systems.
Developing formal models to assess epistemic risk across media, institutions, and public discourse.
N2LAB applies forensic methods to analyze narrative construction, amplification, and suppression.
The lab develops epistemic threat models to evaluate when information environments become structurally unstable, resistant to correction, or systemically distorted.
Modern societies rely on complex information systems to coordinate decisions, policy, and trust.
When narrative systems degrade, downstream effects include institutional misalignment, public confusion, and decision-making failure.
N2LAB focuses on understanding these failure modes at a structural level.
Method artifacts and scoring schemas are published as they mature.
