Inference from Telemetry: measurement, aggregation, and epistemic risk
2025-12-20
The article develops an epistemology of observability, arguing that metrics, logs, and traces are distinct epistemic instruments rather than interchangeable “pillars.” It introduces “evidence profiles” to characterize what each modality can justify, how it supports inferences, and how it fails, and uses a thin Bayesian framework plus measurement theory to explain modality-specific undercutters and epistemic risk in incident response.
