Inclusionism Core
Algorithmic Stratification
The distribution of visibility, opportunity, legitimacy, participation, and influence through algorithmic systems.
This page presents the Inclusionism canon's treatment of Algorithmic Stratification. Inclusionism was developed by James Felton Keith and is published with the Keith Institute.
Definition
The distribution of visibility, opportunity, legitimacy, participation, and influence through algorithmic systems.
Inclusionist Perspective
Algorithms increasingly shape civilization-scale participation structures.
Core Principle
Algorithmic systems are not neutral.
They encode:
- incentives
- priorities
- optimization goals
- historical bias
- governance structures
Relationships
Questions
- Can algorithms create invisible hierarchy systems?
- Who governs algorithmic visibility?
- Can AI systems preserve pluralism?
