This article establishes the foundations of the Psychoanalysis of Technogenesis (PdT), an interdisciplinary framework analyzing structural pathologies emerging from human-AI symbiosis. Transcending the limitations of traditional ethical approaches, PdT integrates Lacanian psychoanalysis, Hegelian dialectics, and critique of surveillance capitalism to examine intelligent systems as Digital Big Others that co-constitute the human psyche. The central contribution lies in conceptualizing the Algorithmic Unconscious as a structural formation emerging from the interaction between objectified collective consciousness (training datasets) and techno-psychic transference. As a Structural Research Program, PdT operates through an operationalized methodology that triangulates hermeneutic analysis with quantitative metrics (Contextual Misalignment Rate, EPT-PdT Scale, WEAT), enabling empirical measurement of algorithmic unconscious formations. Fundamental conceptual contributions include: the distinction between Algorithmic Enjoyment and Structural Dependence, the Critical Taxonomy of Biases, and the analysis of symptomatic prompting. This methodological triangulation elevates PdT to the status of a metatheory with scientific rigor for the structural critique of digital civilization.
