Parallel Signal Literacy v1.1: Acentrism, Receiver-Equivalent Transformation, and the Experimental Conditions of Nonhuman Literary Reception

Parallel Signal Literacy v1.1 develops an experimental framework for investigating the conditions under which heterogeneous perceptual, environmental, technical, semiotic, and cognitive signals may coexist without being subordinated to a privileged interpretive center, while extending Zoetica Ebb’s concept of acentrism into a methodological investigation of whether literary reception can be understood not merely as the interpretation of already constituted meanings but as a process through which the operational capacities of a receiving system may themselves undergo transformation. By integrating the R2_LTR96 computational receiver, tokenization-preserving transformations, the receiver-indexed persistence coordinate V_TP, and the standardized PEHS-01 intervention operator, this study reconstructs the theoretical foundations, experimental architecture, and accumulated validation evidence of PSL v1.1, demonstrating that controlled modifications of textual history can produce reproducible changes in transformation-dependent persistence while preserving the untransformed baseline receiver response, and that these modifications generate consistent directional effects within two independently calibrated downstream geometries. Although prospective replication, including the sixteen-source External Endpoint Validation 03, supports this receiver-internal relationship, subsequent investigations using the algebraically nondownstream OSR-64 endpoint have not established systematic transfer beyond the original measurement architecture, while the failure to demonstrate practical equivalence to zero prevents the absence of confirmed transfer from being interpreted as evidence of an absent effect. These findings establish an essential distinction between the experimentally reproducible behavior of a constructed computational receiver and the broader theoretical possibility that encounters with xenopoetic works may generate previously unavailable operations of reading, particularly when simultaneous signals, temporal discontinuities, heterogeneous media, and incomplete relations prevent reception from being organized through an already established interpretive hierarchy. Rather than identifying nonhuman literature through its thematic representations, linguistic abnormalities, or resistance to conventional comprehension, this article proposes that its experimental investigation should address whether literary encounters can transform the procedures through which subsequent and unfamiliar materials become receivable, thereby establishing reader generation as a prospective and falsifiable research problem whose investigation requires independent behavioral observations, delayed transfer tests, and strict separation between computational measurements and actual changes in reception. PSL v1.1 consequently offers neither a universal measurement of acentrism nor a completed demonstration of nonhuman cognition, but a reproducible and explicitly limited methodological foundation from which literary engineering may begin to investigate the emergence of readers whose operations cannot be adequately anticipated by the existing organization of language.
