Informational Pragmatism and the Digital Order: Mediation, Network Norms, and Algorithmic Ideologies
Abstract
Digital transformation is often understood as technical modernization, but it signifies a profound shift in world relations. This essay develops a philosophical model of analysis that understands digital transformation as a form of technological world-unveiling and describes technical mediation as the co-constitution of meaning, action, and normativity. Methodologically, it combines metaphysical theo-ry, technical mediation analysis, network sociology, and ideology critique. It reconstructs seven net-work norms-fundamental principles guiding algorithmic culture-as the non-subjective normativity of digital systems. It integrates Byung-Chul Han's diagnosis of a loss of negativity as a cultural deep structure. The interdisciplinary analysis yields an expanded understanding of digital ideologies and a normative-creative approach that views digital infrastructures as sites of political, epistemic, and ethical world-formation.
