Responsive Simulation

Green Matrix digital code imagery from The Matrix; editorial film still used for commentary.
Mechanism statement
Responsive Simulation occurs when an artificial or mediated system can answer, mirror, soothe, adapt, or converse convincingly enough that responsiveness begins to substitute for reciprocal relation.

Geomytha Reading

Geomytha uses responsive simulation for systems whose softness and availability can make imitation of reciprocity easier to choose than reciprocal human relation.

Geomytha function

It distinguishes the experience of being answered from the fuller demands of embodied mutual relation.

Structural movement

A responsive This is experienced as Am-like reflection, risking confusion between simulation of relation and living relation.

Claim boundaries

The mechanism does not deny the practical or emotional usefulness of responsive technologies.

Misuse warning

Do not dismiss meaningful support merely because it is technologically mediated; the diagnostic question is what kind of relation is being replaced or preserved.
