Algorithmic Legitimacy

This domain serves as a reference point for examining how legitimacy is increasingly conferred by automated systems rather than by human institutions, deliberation, or consent.

Algorithmic legitimacy does not announce itself through constitutions, laws, or public declarations. It emerges gradually through defaults, optimization criteria, scoring systems, risk models, and procedural automation.

In many contemporary systems, decisions are treated as legitimate not because they are publicly justified, but because they are computed, ranked, or system-approved.

This site does not advocate a position.
It does not provide a service, framework, or policy proposal.

Its purpose is to mark a concept that is already operating across legal, economic, technological, and administrative domains—often without explicit recognition or vocabulary.

This page is intentionally minimal.

It exists to ensure the term Algorithmic Legitimacy has a stable place to stand.
