Алгоритмическая шизофрения: метасимуляционная трансформация реальности в цифровую эпоху
In the contemporary epoch of digital reality and pervasive algorithmization, the concept of the metasimulacrum assumes a pivotal role in the analysis of cultural and cognitive transformations. This study explores metasimulacra as hybrid structures that generate new levels of reality, in which the boundaries between the original and the simulation, between truth and illusion, become blurred. It examines their algorithmic schizophrenia - the capacity to generate cognitive hallucinations and pseudo-realities that exist only at the moment of perception. The objective of this study is twofold: first, to conceptualize metasimulacra as active agents of reality construction; and second, to explore their technological, philosophical, and cultural significance in the contemporary world. The key findings of this research are, first, that metasimulacra undermine traditional notions of reality, replacing objective structures with variable simulations in which algorithms govern the process of meaning construction. Second, their existence depends on human interpretation: without a subject capable of perceiving and comprehending, they remain empty signs. Third, the study demonstrates that algorithms do not merely structure chaos; rather, they impose simplified schemes of perception, thereby transforming reality into a controlled environment. In conclusion, metasimulacra are not merely technological phenomena; rather, they are mechanisms that shape the ways we think and interact with the world.
