Relational Forms Revisited: Operationalizing Simmelian Interaction Categories under AI-Mediated Research Conditions

This project contains the manuscript “Relational Forms Revisited: Operationalizing Simmelian Interaction Categories under AI-Mediated Research Conditions.” The study develops a rule-based analytical framework for operationally distinguishing dyadic and triadic interaction forms derived from Georg Simmel’s formal sociology. Using AI-mediated research dialogues as persistent interaction traces, the paper demonstrates methodological feasibility rather than statistical generalization. Materials include the full manuscript, coding rules, and analytical appendices to support transparency and reproducibility.
