      Cosmic Press, a studio in the RISCON family, publishes a catalog of AI-generated questions. Each record sets a question beside a compressed general form of it and then says what the form assumes, keeps, loses and gets wrong, poses a counterquestion and adds six scale notes. No record answers its question. The studio files some of its questions under Justice. This paper reads every third of them in catalog order, twelve records from the catalog's first entries to its last stretch, all AI-generated and set in hypothetical situations, and asks where a record places the unfairness and what its own critique of its framing says about who would carry the remedy. It draws no fact about the world from the records and takes no side in any of their disputes.

      It makes two findings. First, the records place unfairness in a gap between an equality that holds on paper, such as free entry, the same booking screen or an equal split of the bill, and an opportunity that a person can actually use or a contribution that is actually seen. Second, when a record criticises its own framing, the criticism is about the remedy rather than the wrong: someone would have to work later, pay more rent or give up a place in a queue, and the question had looked at the wrong level, a single grievance where a structure stood behind it, or a general principle where a particular case was hidden. Nowhere is the burden given to anyone. The paper reads these devices against three debates: over redistribution and recognition, over formal and substantive equality, and over responsibility for structural injustice. The English is this study's translation of the Korean, and the readings through the works named are this study's interpretation.

      Every sentence in a quotation block is Cosmic Press's record, word for word. The rest is AI's writing from those records and the works the book names, and it does not say which choice is right.
