The extension of constructionism to the concept of truth itself. It posits that truth is not a static correspondence between statement and world, but an ongoing social process of justification within a community. A statement becomes "true" when it is agreed upon by the relevant epistemic community using their accepted rules (e.g., the scientific method, legal procedure, religious doctrine). This explains how something can be "true" in one context (e.g., a legal verdict) and not in another (e.g., a historical investigation).
