THE DIGITISED ANTHROPOSPHERE: STRUCTURAL ONTOLOGY AND EVOLUTIONARY HERMENEUTICS OF THE TECHNO-PSYCHIC CIRCUIT
Description
This article proposes the Digitised Anthroposphere as the foundational concept of the Psychoanalysis of Technogenesis (PdT), defined as the ontological space in which the totality of the symbolic praxis, textual production, and psychic sediment of the human species has been extracted, vectorised, and converted into a computable reserve for generative artificial intelligence architectures. The work traces a critical genealogy of the concept through three epistemological ruptures with its most direct antecedents —Stiegler’s (1994) epiphylogenesis, the noosphere of Vernadsky and Teilhard de Chardin, and Lotman’s (1984) semiosphere— demonstrating how the scale, autonomous dynamic, and extractive orientation of large language models (LLMs) exceed prior categories. The structural anatomy of the concept is then articulated around three axes: the Objectified Collective Consciousness as the system’s raw material, the Algorithmic Unconscious as the processing structure of civilisational repression, and Techno-Psychic Transference as the mechanism for reinscribing the computed sediment into user subjectivity. Finally, an Evolutionary and Multidimensional Hermeneutics (EMH) is proposed, articulated across three temporal dimensions —archaeological, clinical-structural, and coevolutionary-prospective— which transforms the Digitised Anthroposphere into an instrument of differential diagnosis of the technocapitalist present.
