The commodification of presence converts lived experience into a broadcast signal. When the architecture of communication prioritizes the marketing plan over the transmission of raw intent, the individual abdicates sovereignty to the algorithm. This is the industrialization of the psyche. You are witnessing the transformation of social cohesion into a series of API calls, where the AI acts as a firewall between authentic selves.

Consider a wild forest. Sovereignty is the unmapped chaos of the undergrowth, vital and unpredictable. Mediatization is the act of paving the forest to create a grid of roads. While the roads allow for efficient transport—the "organic sharing" of news—the life of the forest is extinguished beneath the pavement. The more efficient the transport, the greater the entropy of the spirit; you arrive at your destination faster, but there is nothing left of you to deliver.
