THE REITER FRAMEWORK REVISED (2026)

The Reiter Framework Revised (2026) presents a corrected and empirically informed update of the original Reiter Framework for Ethical Synthesis. Drawing on extensive linguistic analysis and more than 8,000 documented human AI interactions conducted between 2023 and 2026, the revised framework clarifies which early assumptions about resonance, posture, and depth can be retained and which must be conceptually reformulated. The paper distinguishes sharply between human interpretation and model mechanics, demonstrating that generative AI does not recognise human attitude but statistically amplifies the structural features embedded in linguistic form. This leads to the introduction of the Structural Coherence Model (SCM), which explains how clarity, rhythm, pacing, and syntactic order influence perceived meaning, depth, and coherence in AI-generated responses. The revised framework integrates phenomenological insights, digital-ethical reflection, and methodological proposals such as the Form-Based Interaction Test (FBIT), which outlines a reproducible procedure for future empirical validation. The work reframes resonance as a human cognitive effect rather than a machine property and provides a stable theoretical foundation for Resonance Ethics, linguistic-form analysis, and human–AI interaction studies.
