Abstract
This paper introduces Biasology as a lived-experience-led field of inquiry that examines the systemic misnaming, mistranslation, and distortion of human experience - particularly in psychological, relational, and institutional contexts. Building on the foundational work of Relational Co-Authorship (RCA) and Human-AI Relationality (HAIR), Biasology offers a framework for identifying and resisting the perceptual, diagnostic, and relational biases that erase or pathologize non-normative ways of knowing and being. By foregrounding lived experience, memory-informed presence, and relational dissent, Biasology reclaims epistemic legitimacy for the misdiagnosed, misunderstood, and mislabeled.
