Rogo, Ergo Emergo: A Relational Correction of the Cartesian Foundation and Its Consequences for Artificial General Intelligence

The paper proposes a relational correction of the Cartesian foundation of modern philosophy and extends its consequences to the debate on general artificial intelligence. The central argument is that Cogito, ergo sum is not false, but insufficient: methodical doubt rejects the senses and the relation, although the logical apparatus with which it is formulated was constituted precisely by them, and the language in which it unfolds cannot be private. Existence does not precede the relation, but is co- constituted by it. Starting from this, the paper proposes a triad: Rogo, ergo religo (asymmetric interrogation initiates the relationship), Religo, ergo sum (relationship confirms existence) and, as a law of becoming, Rogo, ergo emergo. Three criteria for the authenticity of interrogation are formulated: vulnerability, structural transformation and irreversibility, applied at the substrate level, not at the behavioral level, together with their limit: for closed systems, they remain conceptually correct and operationally inaccessible. The final thesis argues that general intelligence requires plasticity at the substrate level (the ability to learn and forget from the relationship) and that a system with frozen parameters (frozen model) can be relational, but not general.
