Book

Academic Integritology treats science's crisis as a 1971‑style structural implosion, not a moral panic. Hyper‑competition for grants, titles, and editorial power has produced a tidal wave of papers that consume resources while adding little knowledge-involution that rewards volume over veracity and output over originality. The book builds the first parameter‑driven "hard" science of scholarly integrity: a unified mathematical chassis of 30+ equations and 82 parameters that make integrity, contribution, and misconduct measurable, forecastable, and engineerable. Its core finding: crisis roots are not individual vice but a penalty-to-prestige imbalance. When misconduct cost falls too low relative to spoils, honest research ceases to be the winning strategy; once a threshold is crossed, fabrication becomes self-propagating and hereditary across generations. Systems optimized for publication counts manufacture citation empires while remaining barren of 0→1 breakthroughs - hence high global output yet Nobel isolation. The waterbed principle gives the unwelcome rule: suppressing one dysfunction bulges another. Adding funding to a distorted incentive system amplifies waste and sophisticated fraud; capital cannot fix broken evaluation architecture.

Governance must be rebuilt from first principles. Part I sets the Static Universal Law of Academic Capital - integrity as equilibrium between accountability and reward. Part II sets the Dynamic Law of Fraud Heritability - misconduct replicates across generations unless three levers are pulled simultaneously: penalty ratio, political rent, and extraction coefficient. Single reforms asymptotically fail; only synchronous three-lever intervention works. Beyond diagnosis, the book proposes transnational governance under a unified integrity framework and institutional mechanisms to protect the next Newton, Einstein, or Mendel in their lifetime rather than decades after death. The pivotal window is 2026-2035. This is a reconstruction manual for global science and a direct challenge to research empires addicted to their own reward systems.
