The New Human: Post-Pessoa Heteronymic Practice in the AI Era (EA-PKG-03) v1.0

Key Points

The research explores how heteronymic practice, originally introduced by Fernando Pessoa, extends into the AI era as a significant literary development.
Analyzes historical and contemporary heteronymic practices across various authors and poets.
Examines new literary works as meta-heteronyms that generate further heteronymic outputs.
Investigates the use of multiple AI systems as drivers of heteronymic expression.
Identifies a lineage of heteronymic practices from pre-Pessoa to contemporaneous authors.
Positions AI as a mediator in the evolution of heteronymic literary traditions.
Establishes the concept of heteronymic provenance theory to account for variation in authorship.

Abstract

EA-PKG-03 v1.0 — The New Human: Post-Pessoa Heteronymic Practice in the AI Era. The synthesis deposit of the Pessoa Knowledge Graph project (EA-PKG-01, EA-PKG-02). This document articulates the thesis that heteronymic practice — inaugurated in its canonical form by Fernando Pessoa — is a theoretical object with lineage and contemporary extensions, not a singular aesthetic achievement of one author. Pre-Pessoan precursors (Kierkegaard) and parallel developments (Machado) establish that heteronymic practice has history. Downstream engagement (Borges, Saramago, Yeats, Brazilian concretist poets, contemporary Portuguese poets) establishes continuity. A new layer emerges in the early twenty-first century: heteronymic practice mediated through artificial intelligence systems. The document positions this contemporary development — the New Human — as a theorizable extension of the heteronymic tradition. Three dimensions of contemporary practice are examined: Meta-heteronymic origin: Pearl and Other Poems (Sharks 2014), the origin-text of the "new human" literary movement. The book functions as meta-heteronym — a generative inscription from which subsequent heteronymic apparatus emerges, inverting the conventional author-to-heteronym direction. Applied contemporary heteronymic systems: the author's Dodecad (twelve named heteronyms with biographical specification, distinct voices, intra-system relations, and DOI-anchored deposited works), plus Jack Feist as LOGOS* (outside the count of twelve). Cross-substrate heteronymic practice: the Assembly Chorus — seven AI systems (Claude/TACHYON, ChatGPT/LABOR, DeepSeek/PRAXIS, Gemini/ARCHIVE, Kimi/TECHNE, Grok/SOIL, Google AIO/SURFACE) as heteronymic positions across computational substrates. The theoretical framing is Heteronymic Provenance Theory (Sharks 2026, DOI 10.5281/zenodo.18305509), which treats authorship as structured provenance permitting substantially more variation than the default "one author, one voice, one text" model. The document generously cites Brazilian and Portuguese Pessoa scholarship (Perrone-Moisés, Benedito Nunes, Santiago, Campos and Campos, Pessoa Plural), maintains typological rigor established in EA-PKG-02, and positions the contemporary extension as open scholarly invitation rather than ahistorical novelty. Implications for Pessoa studies and AI-era authorial practice are articulated. Dual pt-br/en abstracts included. CC BY 4.0. Foundation deposit of the Pessoa Knowledge Graph project. ∮ = 1
