Communication Failure Theory: Heterogeneous Autonomous Science, Phenomenological Subjects, Unobservable Communicative Operations, Credit Scoring, Structural Mapping, Historical Reinsertion, Reality Permeation, and Xenoscience
Communication failure is reconstructed as a configuration-specific material relation whose occurrence and consequences depend on operational arrangements, temporal scales, state partitions, and downstream transitions. Successful signal transmission may coexist with failed structural mapping or scientific coordination, while communicative operations inaccessible to human observation may alter institutional classifications, resource allocation, and subsequent possibilities. The paper develops an operational-shape account of communication across heterogeneous autonomous scientific systems, examining how differences are propagated, selectively retained, transformed, and historically reinserted into subsequent operations. It distinguishes communication success, failure, and indeterminacy from phenomenal experience, inferential justification, and institutional legitimacy. Drawing on Daniel Sacilotto’s account of structural cognition and Natural Reason, the paper investigates the material conditions under which structural mappings are realized, revised, or rendered ineffective. Marx’s analysis of value-form and dead labour, together with Ray Brassier’s treatment of abstraction and scientific realism, informs an examination of credit-scoring infrastructures and the persistence of materially consequential classifications. Communication failures may reorganize the conditions of subsequent communication, observation, and institutional action. The proposed framework is evaluated against information-flow theory, distributed-systems research, and alternative causal explanations. Its contribution is presented as a conditional philosophical reconstruction rather than an empirically established universal theory.
