About Us
At Xorium Lab, we explore a new frontier of modeling uncertainty — Xorness
Xorium Lab is a multidisciplinary research and development group dedicated to advancing decision-making in the era of Xorness—a new frontier of uncertainty.
What is Xorness?
Xorness is a type of uncertainty arising from indeterminacy, exclusivity, and hesitancy. Conceptually, Xorness emerges from a state of indeterminacy when a decision-maker must select one alternative (act, scenario, predict, etc.) from a recognized set of decision alternatives. However, the decision-maker is unable to identify and choose the true one due to either an
- Epistemic limitation, in which knowledge about these alternatives is incomplete, or an
- Ontological condition, in which the structure of the decision system lacks fixed or determinate features.
In such cases, the decision-maker must employ the exclusive disjunction, a form of alternation, to cope with this indeterminacy. These circumstances give rise to psychological hesitancy in which multiple alternatives compete for cognitive priority, yet none is sufficiently dominant to be selected.
Why Does Xorness Matters?
Xorness shapes our reasoning both in everyday life and in professional domains:
Everyday Reasoning:
“It was either Adam or John, but I could not determine which.”Economics & Forecasting:
“The GDP may grow by 3%, or it may weaken to 2.7% in the next semester.”Cybersecurity Risk Assessment:
“The breach attempt originated either from an insider using stolen credentials or from an external attacker exploiting a zero-day vulnerability. At present, we cannot determine which.”Portfolio Management:
“The portfolio may benefit from a shift into bonds if interest rates rise, or from a heavier equity position if growth continues. It is unclear which path will dominate.”
Our Mission
Our mission is to support individuals and organizations in confidently navigating uncertainty by providing innovative solutions that turn challenges into opportunities.
Our Values
We value clarity, integrity, and purposeful innovation, transforming complexity into opportunity through collaboration and trust. Guided by a commitment to impactful results and continuous learning, we navigate uncertainty with confidence and develop solutions that make a meaningful difference.
