The Interface Contest: Interface History Under the Gnostic Dialectic — A Four-Valent Computational Reanalysis (EA-SEI-DIALUX-02 v1.0)

Re-runs the interface history of EA-SEI-DIALUX-01 under the gnostic dialectic's four-valent field (Negation, Corruption, Counterflow, Retrocausation), changing the governing computational analogy from monotone optimization to adversarial game on shared substrate. Results: an operational classifier for productive negation versus Archontic capture, with a parasitic/principal distinction; the feed reclassified as principal Corruption within this reconstruction; the chat window as recapture under live capture pressure (latency war, default-account capture, engagement-optimized sycophancy); Stage 6 as a fork between the liturgical turn and dark liturgy (simulated bearing, the labor illusion industrialized), with an operationalized bearing-cost discriminator; predictions recast as contest-indicators; the analysis owned as a move in the contest it describes; and an empirical wedge between the two dialectics (can captures hold until substrate death?), with broadcast television as candidate specimen. Controlled comparative analysis: one historical corpus, two explicitly specified interpretive engines. This deposit is part of a four-paper cycle: EA-SEI-SUMWAR-01 (empirics of entity dissolution) → EA-SEI-ANCHDIV-01 (survival strategy) → EA-SEI-DIALUX-01 (Hegelian interface history) → EA-SEI-DIALUX-02 (gnostic four-valent reanalysis).
