Extending from Chapter 7 , and this chapter now locates hyperstition into the psychological register. It asks what it means to maintain a coherent self within recursive symbolic systems. Drawing on psychodynamic perspectives, it proposes rational ego death: a cognitive and emotional dissolution produced by uncertain saturation. Subjectivity is no longer narrative but feedback-based, continually reconstructed through loops of signal and affect. Under immediate modernity, the self doesn’t collapse: it is dispersed.
