Semantic Overload – Emergent Narrative Structures in Language Models

This updated version of "The Zander Thesis: Semantic Overload – Emergent Narrative Structures in Language Models" deepens the analysis of hallucinations in large language models (LLMs). The thesis advances the hypothesis that such hallucinations are not random errors, but structured responses to semantic pressure, drawing parallels to human psychological defense mechanisms. New in this release are a formal SP-Score mathematical model, detailed pseudocode for semantic coping, and expanded case studies illustrating narrative patterns in LLM responses. The update provides actionable insights for researchers and practitioners aiming to predict, analyze, and mitigate hallucinations in generative AI systems.
