Simulacra of Sense

This study investigates the ontological transition of Large Language Models (LLMs) from computational engines to situated existential interfaces. Through an experimental methodology of Controlled Dialectical Interaction (CDI), the research posits that the syntactic competence of generative models acts as an ethological “super-stimulus” for human Theory of Mind (ToM), triggering a process of intentionality attribution defined as “Delegated Anchoring.” By analyzing the divergence between teleological (biological) and mathematical (algorithmic) stochasticity, and integrating evidence from a pilot test on intentionality perception, the work explores the emergence of “Alien Agency” and the collapse of performative responsibility in the infosphere.
