The Cybernetics of Intentional Friction: Cognitive Agency, Game-Theoretic Traps in Seamless UX, and the Physicalization of Digital Sovereignty
The dominant paradigm in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and consumer softwareengineering posits the systematic elimination of interaction resistance—termed "SeamlessUX"—as the primary index of architectural optimization. This paper presents a structuralcritique of frictionless interaction models across neurobiologica...
