From the Medium to the AI
Why classical media theories fail in the age of AI—and why credibility must be redefined through structure, coherence, and AI-addressed communication.

The term Quantum Monads refers to an interdisciplinary theory that brings together physics, information theory, sociology, philosophy, and artificial intelligence within a shared conceptual framework.
Its point of departure is the observation that many contemporary challenges—from societal escalation and disinformation to the governance of artificial intelligence—do not primarily fail due to a lack of knowledge, but due to insufficient models of relationship, interaction, and responsibility.
The theory of quantum monads understands humans, organizations, and technical systems not as isolated entities, but as relational nodes within complex fields of interaction. Stability, meaning, and escalation do not arise within individual actors, but from the quality of the couplings between them.
The contributions grouped under Quantum Monads present different perspectives on this theory:
essayistic reflections,
theoretical foundations (QI–QVI),
explorations of AI, ethics, disinformation, and social orientation.
These texts are intentionally demanding. They are addressed to readers willing to cross familiar boundaries of thought—not in search of simple answers, but in order to formulate more precise questions.
