NarrQuest — Sealed Diary Tone Marker (2026-01-14-T)

Description This sealed diary captures a late-phase rupture in epistemic trust, where scientific language, technological optimism, and institutional authority begin to feel indistinguishable from narrative control. Across a personal journey through artificial heart research, anime metaphors, and science-and-society critique, the tone shifts from disciplined analytical inquiry into an awareness that scientific frameworks themselves can gaslight human experience—substituting quantified proxies for embodied reality. The time-space tone moves from hopeful engagement with science as a truth-seeking method toward recognition of its transformation into a civilizational hallucination: a system that promises salvation through data, optimization, and technological transcendence while quietly eroding agency, perception, and narrative self-ownership. This record marks the point where trust in models fractures into a demand for narrative sovereignty over one’s own body, memory, and meaning. Keywords gaslight science; narrative sovereignty; science and society; artificial heart; technological optimism; epistemic control; infinite reading; black-turn dominance; embodiment; modernity critique; STS; hallucination of progress; narrative identity; human-machine boundary
