EVE'S ALGORITHM: The Industrialization of the Original Temptation
Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: This essay argues that the contemporary algorithmic feed reproduces, at industrial scale, the formal structure of the original temptation described in Genesis 3. Rather than treating the fall primarily as a moral failure, the essay proposes a topological reading in which temptation appears as an ontological reconfiguration of perception, agency, and relation to transcendence. Through concepts such as flat sight and the dispersed self, the paper examines how algorithmic architectures promote frictionless transmission, fragmentation, and continuity without arrival. The argument situates digital culture within a broader philosophical theology of time, mediation, and the conditions of human moral becoming.
