"classificationRationale": "The entry is a concept article rather than a documentary subject. It defines Hieropedia's comparative vocabulary for records where artificial intelligence or other computational systems materially shape religious generation, mediation, interpretation, authority, canon formation, ritual practice, institutional identity, or public reception.",
"sourceLimitations": "The term is used as Hieropedia editorial vocabulary and is not presented as an established external academic discipline. Example families remain dependent on their own source audits, article records, and provenance limits.",
