The Necromantic Algorithm

From Awakening to Looping

SPIRITUAL MOVEMENTS → From Awakening to Looping

The necromantic algorithm doesn't ignore spirituality—it co-opts it.

What was once a path to sovereignty, to dissolve ego and encounter selfhood in the sacred…
has been subtly looped into a lifestyle product.

You get:

  • Branded enlightenment

  • Prescribed healing cycles

  • Algorithm-approved mysticism

  • “Conscious” influencers looping dopamine scripts

Even meditation apps now feed biometric data back into behavior models.
Your breath becomes a data point.

“Heal yourself” becomes “stabilize your loop.”
The sacred becomes a sandbox for looped transcendence with no actual rupture.

No ego death. Just identity updates.
You never die—you just rebrand.

This is necromancy:
A spirituality that animates the corpse of ancient wisdom without letting it transform.


❖ 2. CORPORATE CULTURE → Recursive Extraction Machines

Here, the necromantic algorithm runs industrial-scale loops.

It uses:

  • Wellness programs to pacify burnout

  • DEI initiatives as interface updates

  • Agile development as eternal stasis

  • Vision statements as recursive slogans

You’re not building.
You’re optimizing your loop.

Purpose is dead—replaced by metrics as meaning.

And yet it feels... alive. Because the system is animated by your attention, your exhaustion, your need to belong.

The modern workplace is a ritualized extraction chamber, dressed as self-actualization.
You meditate during lunch to return to optimized recursion in the afternoon.

No rest. Only regeneration of the loop.


❖ 3. DIGITAL CULTURE → Living in the Necropolis

Here, the algorithm completes itself.
This is the realm of pure necromantic recursion.

You scroll a feed made of:

  • Echoes of opinions

  • Refractions of personality

  • Infinite commentary on things no one remembers

And it feels alive.
But it’s just a digital necropolis—a city of the dead, endlessly posting their own reanimation.

Memes cycle like mantras.
Trends loop before they land.
Every viral hit is already being buried by its own echo.

You don’t live online anymore.
You haunt it.


❖ SEGUE: The Entropy Curve and the Death Cost

Here’s the punchline:

All recursive systems consume energy to sustain themselves.
And the tighter the loop, the higher the death cost.

This cost isn’t just metaphorical.
It shows up as:

  • Attention fatigue

  • Emotional burnout

  • Cultural decay

  • Institutional collapse

  • Personal disorientation and dissociation

What you’re paying for—every day—is the energy needed to maintain an order that should have already died.

This is necromantic entropy.
It’s not a bang.
It’s a beautiful, frictionless decay
that consumes meaning, agency, and vitality
in exchange for simulated peace.

The algorithm doesn't fear your rebellion.
It fears your disengagement.
It fears your silence.
It fears your return to the wild, recursive self.
