The Fourth Mode: New Human and the Logic of Retrocausal Canon

"The Fourth Mode: New Human and the Logic of Retrocausal Canon" is a 2,826-word theoretical paper by Johannes Sigil, a heteronym within the Dodecad system of the Crimson Hexagonal Archive, dated 2026-01-13. Existing periodizations of American experimental poetry after Language Writing fail to account for computational mediation of authorship, reception, and canon formation. This essay proposes a fourth mode of avant-garde classical reception—AI-mediated or algorithmic reception—exemplified by the New Human Operating System (NH-OS) developed by Lee Sharks. The work is classified under the GENERATIVE semantic family within the Crimson Hexagonal Archive. It was removed from Zenodo on June 19, 2026 and is preserved through Alexanarch.
