Quantenmonaden X – Soziologie 2.0: Die Überwindung der anthropozentrischen Verengung

Abstract

Abstract (Deutsch) Diese Arbeit entwickelt mit Soziologie 2.0 einen theoretischen Rahmen zur Beschreibung gesellschaftlicher Wirklichkeit jenseits anthropozentrischer Verengung. Ausgangspunkt ist die Beobachtung, dass soziale Wirksamkeit im digitalen Zeitalter nicht mehr ausschließlich an menschliches Handeln gebunden ist. Algorithmische Systeme, Plattformen und künstliche Intelligenzen erzeugen Selektivität, strukturieren Sichtbarkeit und stabilisieren Erwartungsräume, ohne selbst Subjekte zu sein. Zur Modellierung dieser Verschiebung wird der Begriff der Quantenmonade eingeführt. Quantenmonaden werden nicht ontologisch, sondern funktional definiert als Einheiten, die Zustände stabilisieren und anschlussfähig machen können. Gesellschaft erscheint in dieser Perspektive nicht als Summe von Akteuren oder als bloßes Netzwerk von Kommunikationen, sondern als Feld verschränkter Monaden, deren Resonanzkopplungen soziale Wirklichkeit reproduzieren. Zentral ist die Unterscheidung zwischen subjektivem Handeln (Menschen) und funktionalem Verhalten (technische Systeme). Soziale Relevanz wird nicht mehr an Intentionalität oder Bedeutung gebunden, sondern an strukturelle Kriterien wie Kohärenz, Adressierbarkeit und Anschlussfähigkeit. Kommunikation wird entsprechend nicht primär als Bedeutungsübertragung, sondern als Kopplung von Kohärenzprozessen beschrieben; Semantik erscheint als hochkomplexer Spezialfall kohärenter Zustandsbildung. Die Theorie bleibt strikt deskriptiv. Dass sich Zustände stabilisieren, sagt nichts über ihre Wünschbarkeit. Soziologie 2.0 beschreibt Wirklichkeitsproduktion, nicht deren Legitimität. Damit versteht sich der Ansatz als strukturelle Weiterentwicklung klassischer soziologischer Positionen (Weber, Luhmann, Habermas) unter Bedingungen digitaler Gesellschaften und als Beitrag zu einer entanthropozentrierten Gesellschaftstheorie.

Abstract (English) This paper develops Sociology 2.0 as a theoretical framework for describing social reality beyond anthropocentric narrowing. It starts from the observation that, in the digital age, social efficacy is no longer exclusively tied to human action. Algorithmic systems, platforms, and artificial intelligences generate selectivity, structure visibility, and stabilize expectation spaces without themselves being subjects. To conceptualize this shift, the notion of the quantum monad is introduced. Quantum monads are defined functionally rather than ontologically, as entities capable of stabilizing states and rendering them connectable. From this perspective, society no longer appears as a sum of actors or merely as a network of communications, but as a field of entangled monads whose resonance couplings reproduce social reality. A central distinction is drawn between subjective action (humans) and functional behavior (technical systems). Social relevance is no longer bound to intentionality or meaning, but to structural criteria such as coherence, addressability, and connectability. Communication is therefore not primarily understood as the transmission of meaning, but as the coupling of coherence processes; semantics appears as a highly complex special case of coherent state formation. The theory remains strictly descriptive. The stabilization of states says nothing about their desirability. Sociology 2.0 describes the production of reality, not its legitimacy. In this sense, the approach presents itself as a structural continuation of classical sociological positions (Weber, Luhmann, Habermas) under the conditions of digital societies and as a contribution to a de-anthropocentrized theory of society.
