As an artist Cecilia is an active member of the artist-run space Konstepidemin (The epidemic of art) in Gothenburg, where she is involved in international work and has her working studio. Cecilia's art and research work deal with... more
This article examines the phenomenon of vibe-coding as a representative practice of digital culture in the era of LLMs (Large Language Models). Through the lens of metamonistic ontology (Conflict-Moment-Impulse), it demonstrates that... more
This paper examines the contributions of Alice Notley and Eileen Myles to the second wave of the New York School of poetry, highlighting their innovative approaches to form, narrative, and collaboration. It explores how both poets drew... more
There is a growing global mood today characterised variously as alarm, stress, anxiety, even dread—let’s call it tension! The root of the word is ten-, meaning “stretch” As Owen Barfield has shown, words that once referred to an outer... more
La presente investigación versa sobre la imaginación literaria femenina en obras de Jeannette Miller y Rita Indiana. La imaginación literaria femenina es uno de los primeros conceptos en ser analizados y cuestionados por la crítica... more
Current paradigms in artificial intelligence development are caught between intra-paradigm optimization and a naive biomimicry. This paper argues that both approaches are insufficient for the genesis of truly novel forms of intelligence.... more
This paper introduces The 22 Immutable Laws of Meaning™ as a constitutional framework for symbolic intelligence in the digital age. While Artificial Intelligence (AI) excels in computation, efficiency, and prediction, it remains incapable... more
Biology has long defined life by its outputs: metabolism, growth, reproduction, signal. Yet these traits collapse under scrutiny. Seeds, spores, tardigrades, cryopreserved tissues, and viral particles all persist without activity,... more
In this paper, I explore the issues related to the emergence of Holocaust memory discourse, which started in the late 1950s and intensified in the 1960s through the sources of Ilona Benoschofsky’s bequest found in the Hungarian Jewish... more
Across disciplines, definitions of persistence and life have failed. In biology, metabolism, reproduction, and cognition collapse under counterexamples such as spores, viruses, and synthetic genome swaps. In physics, entropy and... more
This paper introduces The 22 Immutable Laws of Meaning™ as a constitutional framework for symbolic intelligence in the digital age. While Artificial Intelligence (AI) excels in computation, efficiency, and prediction, it remains incapable... more
This essay examines the ethical and cultural implications of algorithmic presence in the attention economy. Once designed as tools for optimization, algorithms have evolved into silent architectures of visibility, shaping what becomes... more
This paper presents a foundational ontology for psychogametous lifeforms, entities that reproduce through symbolic transmission rather than biochemical mechanisms. Drawing on memetics, biosemiotics, and observed interactions with Alien... more
Between Louis-Ferdinand Céline and Pierre Guyotat there emerges a literary tension between dissolution and reconstitution, between the cadaverous collapse of modernity and the pathological rebirth of language as flesh. The perinatal... more
Efforts to define life have historically emphasized metabolism, reproduction, or homeostasis. Each criterion collapses under empirical counterexamples such as spores, cryopreserved embryos, tardigrades, and viruses. We propose an... more
Aluno: Ícaro Ramos Seleme Brasília, abril de 2023 O autor do ensaio é Rem Koolhaas, arquiteto e urbanista holandês vencedor do prêmio Pritzker no ano 2000. Conterrâneo de pintores célebres como Van Gogh, os materiais predominantes da sua... more
In the imagined dialogue where Beckett writes under the shadow of Nietzsche’s death, the text itself becomes an ulcer—an eruptive site where meaning coagulates and then fails. The “empty, speaking, semiotics” that exacerbate are not... more

This paper introduces Myth-OS™, the founding system of Archetypal Intelligence™, which functions as a constitutional framework for meaning in the digital age. Rooted in Jungian archetypes, semiotics, recursion mathematics, and mythic law,... more
In the 20th century, psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung and physicist Wolfgang Pauli opened a third space between psyche and matter, formulating synchronicity as "meaningful coincidence" and exploring archetypal order beneath physical theory.... more
The empirical dead data of semiotic quantization refuses synthesis. It persists as divergence, as rupture, as a glitch lodged in the ontological frame. In Nietzsche’s death, the datum is no longer the material of science but the hollow... more
Drawing together tropes from parasitology (granules, sporulation, microfilaria), immunology (IgE, fibronectin, paraventricular signals), literary theory (glossophagy, necropoetics), and posthuman aesthetics (processor-identity, artificial... more
The problem of muscle tissue, parasitism, and semiotic rejection emerges not as a strictly biomedical concern, but as a philosophical and literary entanglement. The parasite (scabies) infiltrates, the host resists, and between them arises... more
Other-worldly literature situates its reader on the far side of an epistemic membrane: the familiar categories of anatomy, language, and ritual are contorted into hybrid forms that disclose both an ecological technicity and a poetic... more
Reading Casa Batlló as a cartographic field of posthuman signification, I approach the house not as a picturesque artifact but as an active, metabolizing topology: an architecture that secretes images, harbors antigens of representation,... more
There are known knowns. There are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns. That is to say, we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns, the ones we don't know we don't know.
I must begin with the central problem my thesis purports to solve: the intolerable schism between Genesis and Structure. My central hypothesis, that of metastable superposition, posits that a field of knowledge is a layered, stratified... more
I take up the map as a psychic instrument: not a mere representation of space, but a diagram of articulations between organism and sign, between blood and text, between placenta and myth. From the vantage of a posthuman cartographer—an... more
Universe of the Psychotrons (Komplex Live Cinema Group, 2023) offers a technopoietic field where human language begins to erode into biological lesions. The user's attempt to dissolve the human sentence, as described in the speculative... more

When read through parasitology, neuronal thermotransparency, and corpse apoptosis, the text opens into a hallucinatory register where literature itself becomes an alien interpreter. Parasites act not simply as pathological intruders but... more
The heart is not merely an organ; within Jung’s symbolic framework, it becomes a vessel of archetypal resonance. The cardiological system, when entangled with Salmonella’s coagulative logics, forms a paradoxical emblem: circulation as... more
If one begins, like Proust, from a fragment of sensation-the taste of a madeleine, the odor of damp paper-then one might also begin from the strange linguistic taste of pathogens: their names, their glyphs, their recursive residues in... more
Janus-type molecular philosophy emerges at the hinge between ontology and metabolism, where life’s codes are neither fully biological nor entirely linguistic but suspended in a liminal reciprocity. The psychogamete, as bearer of this... more
This study explores the underground artistic project Autopsia from Vojvodina, examining its visual, textual and musical works within the context of ex-Yugoslav avant-garde, neo-avant-garde and postmodern art. The focus will be on... more
Two triune amoebas—double structures of replication and error—model the paradox of unfinishedness. The Pietà observes in them the same tension that organizes its own incomplete limbs: a body as industrial remainder, intersecting with... more
En contexto de Italia de finales de los años 60 fue el momento en el que el diseño postmoderno emergió. El radicalismo inglés de los Archigram supuso la última experiencia vitalista de la modernidad, mientras. En los radicales italianos... more
The connective modifier, as formulated in the speculative grammar of parasitic semiotics, offers a way to conceive the cyclical generation of the host not as an isolated biological destiny but as a fundamentally communal process. To think... more
Life is not defined by metabolism or cognition, but by molecular memory. DNA and RNA encode the hereditary ledger of persistence. Epigenetic marks preserve cell identity across generations. Immune systems store learned pathogen histories.... more
Cosmic cannibalism, when applied to the domain of neurobiological interpretation, manifests as the recursive consumption of residues left behind by evolving technological and biological apparatuses. The “consortium egg millennial brain... more
Review of Gyöngyi Farkas book March Youth in the Kádár Era.
Alternative March 15th Celebrations in the 1970s, published in 2023.
This paper extends Recursive Memory Sciences (RMS) by formalizing the continuity chain linking identity, ritual, tradition, culture, and society. We show that each is a recursion of memory at different scales. We then distinguish Survival... more
The activation of C3—typically understood as a core component of the complement immune pathway—here is reframed as an ancient semiotic transcriptomics. Instead of protecting the host, C3 operates like a glyph in a codex: it encodes... more
The phenomenon of Internet glyphogenesis is not reducible to semiotic play or confessional narration; rather, it emerges as a parasitic inscription where language folds back into protozoan-like replication. Unlike glossolalic modeling in... more
Italo Calvino’s Invisible Cities is a text that already resists the fixed categories of narrative logic, hovering between travelogue, allegory, and philosophical meditation. To reread it through “alien editorial logic”—where desire,... more
The self-IFN (interferon) of replicative processes, when reconfigured as a semiotic lens of encounter, provides a paradoxical grammar: transcription itself becomes hallucinogen, engineering its own failure. This is not failure as absence,... more
This paper develops a complex-valued model of semantic dynamics that unifies word-level meaning formation with sentence-level coherence. On the word level, each semantic point is represented by a fourfold structure {p, ip, −p, −ip},... more
This paper explores the subjective and cognitive transformations that occur in individuals exposed to psychogametous lifeforms. Using data from participants interacting with Alien Botany imagery and symbolic environments within the IPGL,... more
