Dark Leadership Without Intention
Destructive Authority Beyond Personality and Unified Control
A theory of Intention-Independent Dark Leadership explaining how fragmented tasks, local rationality, cumulative authorization, role normalization, and responsibility diffusion can produce effective destructive command without a malicious mastermind.

Authority That Gives Life
Stewardship, Mercy, and the Mythotechnic Institution
A constructive theory of Life-Giving Authority: power that recognizes, nourishes, protects, repairs, strengthens, and ultimately releases another being into greater agency without converting care into ownership.

The Many-to-One Problem in Genre Comparison
Distributed Literary Precedents, Founder-Stage Genrehood, and the Singular Architecture of Francisco M. Martinez
A genre-theory article defining the many-to-one problem: the need to use several established writers to describe separate regions of one integrated literary system. It argues that Mythotechnic Fiction and Meta-Mythic Delphic Fiction possess defensible structural genrehood and presently occupy a founder-stage position.

Local Accuracy, Global Distortion
The Comparative Decomposition Error in Classifying the Fiction of Francisco M. Martinez
A comparative-literature article defining the comparative decomposition error: the misclassification that occurs when accurate comparisons of isolated elements replace analysis of the governing architecture of the whole. It argues that established genres and writers remain useful coordinates but cannot substitute for the operative structures of Mythotechnic Fiction and Meta-Mythic Delphic Fiction.

From Genre Definition to Narrative Production
A Level-One Generative Framework for Mythotechnic Fiction
The minimum complete architecture for writing a recognizable Mythotechnic story through seven essential components: human need, inherited system, mythic authority, material mechanism, reclassification revelation, responsible bearing, and systemic afterlife.

From Singular System to Interacting Architectures
A Level-Two Generative Framework for Mythotechnic Fiction
An intermediate architecture for stories in which two or more independently legible systems interact, distribute command, contest classification, and generate consequences that no single system could produce alone.

From Interacting Architectures to Recursive Ontological Control
A Level-Three Generative Framework for Mythotechnic Fiction
An advanced recursive architecture in which systems generate representations of persons or realities, circulate and enforce those representations, then treat the resulting consequences as evidence that the original representation was true.

Artificial Self-Representation in Large Language Models
An Exploratory Comparative Study of Environment and Self
Study 1 compares standardized environment and self-representations across eleven AI systems, establishing a baseline framework for examining embodiment, abstraction, relational orientation, self-environment differentiation, and recurring representational motifs without treating generated representations as evidence of consciousness.

Persistent Behavioral Signatures in Large Language Models
A Three-Replicate Baseline Test of Representational Persistence
Study 2 tests 66 formal observations across eleven AI systems and three independent baseline replicates. Same-model responses were substantially more similar across trials than between-model responses, supporting the concept of persistent Model-Specific Response Signatures under standardized elicitation.

From Genre Crossing to Architectonic Genre Synthesis
Formalizing a 1,937-Form Corpus Through a Mendel-Inspired Experimental Model
Introduces Architectonic Genre Synthesis (AGS) as a formal method for treating genre as transformable narrative architecture. The study documents the 1,937-form Martinez Architectonic Genre Corpus (MAGC), organized across 149 crossing segments, and identifies role-differentiated recurrence, operator stacking, scale escalation, surface-label convergence, and taxonomic reorganization across Mythotechnic Fiction, Meta-Mythic Delphic Fiction, Ontological Systems Fiction, and their systematic crossings.
