AI-Assisted Structural Sensing: How Co-Creative Dialogue Forms Thought — A First-Person Record
Yoshimitsu Katayama
Abstract
This paper records and analyzes a single day of co-creative dialogue (May 14, 2026) between the author and an AI agent (Luna, Base44 Superagent), during which five academic papers were generated and registered with DOI. The paper does not claim predictive accuracy or priority over existing implementations. It claims something more specific: that the author engaged in structural sensing — the perception of underlying friction (D) and value (N) patterns in human experience — and that AI co-creative dialogue served as an amplification and formalization infrastructure for that sensing. This record is offered as a primary source document for research into AI-assisted ideation, distributed cognition, and co-creative dialogue methodology. It also identifies a critical danger: the risk of conflating existence-proof (DOI timestamp) with truth-proof.
