"Minikui Boku no Uta": Self-Affirmation Photochemistry and the Multi-Path Single-Destination System A Projection Poetry Analysis of Sasaki Takuma's Counter-Projection Engineering

Abstract This paper presents a structural analysis of “Minikui Boku no Uta” (みにくい僕の唄) by Takuma Sasaki, revealing the most sophisticated instance of Projection Poetry yet documented. Unlike previous works that achieve cognitive manipulation through omission (HI CHEESE) or ontological innovation (Yukari), “Minikui Boku no Uta” employs Counter-Projection: excessive specificity that induces automatic abstraction, forcing readers to overwrite concrete details with their own experiences. Through cross-model LLM testing and textual analysis, we demonstrate that this work functions as a Multi-Path Single-Destination System, wherein all interpretive routes—whether misreading (romance/breakup) or accurate reading (self-dialogue/failure transposition)—converge on the identical terminus: self-affirmation. This 100% convergence rate establishes “Minikui” as the perfected form of Projection Poetry. We introduce three critical concepts: (1) Mini Kui (身に杭) as blame displacement structure, (2) Minikui (見にくい) as the unobservable nature of self-directed rhetoric, and (3) Dimensional Elevation from visual ugliness to structural invisibility. The title’s hiragana notation (“みにくい”) encodes all semantic layers simultaneously. Empirical evidence shows that Claude 4.5, Gemini, and ChatGPT demonstrated 100% Deterministic Hallucination—yet all paths lead to the engineered destination. Here, p < 0.001 does not denote inferential statistics but indicates deterministic convergence across repeated trials. Keywords: projection poetry, counter-projection, blame displacement, multi-path convergence, self-affirmation engineering, Japanese lyrical poetry
