The Physics of Illusion: A Syllogistic Critique of Modernity

The Physics of Illusion: A Syllogistic Critique of Modernity introduces a novel, unified analytical framework integrating formal Aristotelian syllogistic logic with classical thermodynamic laws to critique the structural vulnerabilities of hyper-financialized, automated modern infrastructure. We formalize the concept of 'Systemic Decoupling,' demonstrating mathematically how contemporary socioeconomic paradigms treat information and financial layers as closed, self-sustaining loops, thereby violating the Second Law of Thermodynamics. We apply this framework to two contemporary phenomena: highly complex financial instruments and the proliferation of Generative Artificial Intelligence (analyzing Model Collapse as a form of Information Entropy).
