Capacities that are reshaped when delegated to technological and institutional systems: practical wisdom, desire, creaturehood, friction, infrastructure.
Reconstructs creaturehood as an anthropological structure — a life received rather than assembled — and shows what is externalised when moral formation is delegated to optimising systems.
Shows that the tradition's resources for indirect agency are act-derivative without exception, and that some infrastructural configurations decline, at the operating level, to produce the act those resources require — then reformulates sin, judgment, and moral agency accordingly.
Case · Robodebt, the Dutch childcare-benefits scandal, and automated platform moderation serve as the three institutional configurations.

Traces the displacement of practical wisdom by anticipatory foresight when deliberation is mediated by predictive systems, and identifies what is lost when judgment is replaced by provision.
Introduces automated certainty as a condition in which algorithmic systems reduce experienced perplexity faster than they produce the interpretive competence required to evaluate the resolution, and proposes an empirical research program for tracking the resulting divergence between theological confidence and competence.
Case · Cognitive science of religion, processing fluency, predictive processing, and historical practices of interpretive formation (Chavruta, lectio divina, apophatic discipline) frame the analysis.

Identifies the deformation that follows when epistemic labour is automated without a corresponding reformation of the practices that labour once required of the human subject.
Sets an extractive order of habituation against sanctification as a formative order, and asks who holds formative sovereignty when habits are shaped predictively.
Develops comparative entitlement formation as a single mechanism linking proximate comparison, the felt claim it generates, grievance, and displacement onto vulnerable third parties; shows that the characteristic irrationality of unfairness experience reflects the mechanics of comparison rather than a failure of rational judgement.
Formalises a process model linking small-scale behavioural regulation to the longer arc of character formation, giving the formation thesis an empirically tractable shape.
Introduces second-order provenance: the traceability not of data but of the normative orderings under which data are taken to matter.
Analyses how mimetic structures of the self are recomposed when models of the self are precomputed for us.
Argues that answerability requires an addressable record — not merely an explainable output — and reconstructs institutional recordkeeping as a moral infrastructure.
Describes the platforming of desire: the conversion of desire into a resource whose comparative structure can be measured, ranked, and monetised.
Argues that AI systems function as epistemic infrastructure — silent scaffolding of what an institution can know — and reframes safety and governance in those terms.
Describes institutional inversion: the pattern by which supporting systems come to determine the institutional practices they were built to serve.
Reconstructs friction as a productive, not merely obstructive, feature of institutional systems and shows what its removal costs.
