Beyond Historical Materialism: Six Epistemic Ruptures in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

This paper identifies six epistemic ruptures exposed by artificial intelligence that render historical materialism structurally obsolete for the 21st century. By applying the Theory of Axiomatic Necessity (TNA), it demonstrates that Marxism’s explanatory closure fails to account for non-derivative agency and algorithmic bifurcation. For over a century, Marxism has relied on material determinism to explain social and consciousness-driven phenomena. However, the emergence of intelligent systems acts as a stress test, revealing that consciousness functions as a precedent operator rather than a downstream effect of material conditions. We analyze six specific ruptures—ranging from the status of individual origin to the usucapion of style—to show that these systems require an open epistemic framework. The conclusion suggests a transition from ideology to epistemology, situating Marxism as a locally valid industrial-era model that cannot absorb the structural reality of the AI age. Core Reference: This work is an integral component of the Theory of Axiomatic Necessity (TNA) framework developed by Claudio Bresciano. It formalizes specific domain constraints within the global $N_1$ structural logic. For the complete axiomatic foundation, refer to the TNA System Manifest (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.19115157) and the Core Theory (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18098558) See the attached diagrams for a visual summary of the structural collapse of historical materialism under the TNA framework https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bRZHBaM8aGTbBfiK-EmlfDAAhyjxQcRB/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/18Z1CPCYKjR5Kivrz85RvykS2ulYW-HnZ/view?usp=sharing
