Intus Legere, Vectorization, and the Structural Veil of AI Output.

Reading Between the Times is the philosophical foundation of a larger project. Where earlier work described generative AI as the vectorized afterlife of public language, and a companion volume turned to professional judgment and the distinction between Erlebnis and Erfahrung, this book grounds those arguments in their deepest terms: the conversion of language into vector space is the conversion of temporal-existential structure into spatial calculability.
The argument moves through spatiality and time (Heidegger, Husserl, Stiegler), language and deixis (Bühler, Benveniste, cognitive linguistics), writing and the corpus, and the geometry of vector space, to an ontology of AI output as linguistic but worldless , fluent speech that never passed through the temporal formation that gives human speech its weight. The book names the result the structural veil of AI output.
Its ethical response is a discipline of reading. Intus legere , to read within, to read between , is the practice of restoring the worldly and temporal locus that vectorization strips away. Across a preface, an introduction, sixteen chapters, and a coda, the book defends situated reading as the human counter-practice to detemporalized language.
