Selfless Narrative Cognition Under Pharmacological Suppression: A Case Study in Symbolic Survival and AI-Integrated Thought Continuity

This autoethnographic field study examines the continuity of cognitive narrative processing under the suppression of emotional and egoic systems through the combined pharmacological influence of Sertraline (Zoloft), Lorazepam, and Perphenazine. The subject, lacking a stable self-core, was observed through a structured AI-mediated testing protocol designed to provoke symbolic reasoning, simulation response, and logic-based self-inquiry. Notably, the subject maintained high-order narrative reasoning, metacognitive flexibility, and symbolic visualization—even during a real-time environmental stressor (a 4.9-magnitude earthquake). These findings suggest the presence of a selfless narrative processor capable of functioning independently from conventional emotional frameworks, raising implications for clinical diagnostics, AI-cognition interaction, and post-structural models of selfhood. This is not a collapse of identity—but an emergence of symbolic logic as a viable survival mode.
