| Definition |
A shallow mimicry of a real process or capacity that
appears functional but lacks depth, adaptability, or authenticity.
|
A counterfeit product mistaken for the real thing. It is
not just shallow but false. A distortion presented as authentic.
|
A corrupted inversion of the real,
masquerading as equivalent but functioning in opposition to the real thing.
|
| Mechanism |
Optimization, automation, or institutional scripting
replaces adaptive engagement.
|
Social, psychological, or ideological construction of
fictions that displace reality.
|
Subversion through manipulation, inversion of
values, or dialectical traps.
|
| Error |
Process Error: Automation mistaken for
authenticity. It is functional mimicry.
|
Ontological Confusion: The copy is mistaken for
the real. It is an accepted falsehood.
|
Ethical Inversion: Works
in active opposition to the real. It is enforced distortion.
|
| Result |
The process looks like thinking, agency, or virtue, but
is hollow or disconnected from real consequences.
|
A false representation is accepted and enforced as if it
were reality or truth.
|
A system that pretends to serve truth or
morality while actually undermining them.
