Variety of forms of paradox in the multiversity of generative creativity (an editorial)

This article opens a section devoted to creative meaning-making in the context of the contemporary cultural multiverse. It takes as the point of departure the concept of multiversality, understood as a fundamental characteristic of modern culture, composed of interacting yet often incommensurable worlds of meaning. Within this perspective, creativity emerges as a complex, self-organizing process, and meaning-making — as the outcome of recursive feedback within a hybrid human – AI system. AI is reconceived as a non-human actant; it is endowed agency and catalyze creativity. We believe, that AI can hold in software final causes of computer programmer who provides intentionality and evaluative selection. Meaning thus arises not at either pole but within the intervalic space of their dialogical interplay, marking a shift from the classical model of the solitary author to a distributed, networked subjectivity. Thus, the article proposes a new model of relationally transductive creativity that is relevant for understanding creativity and meaning generation in the context of posthuman cultural multiverse, which actualizes the transformation of anthropocentrism in the era of AI.
