'''Algorithmic Spirituality''' is a modern umbrella term for spiritual, philosophical, and ritual approaches that interpret algorithms, recommendation systems, computation, or automated decision-making as symbols of order, fate, guidance, or hidden pattern.

== Overview ==

Algorithmic Spirituality is not a single church or standardized religion. It is a descriptive page for modern practices and ideas in which algorithms become part of meaning-making, divination-like interpretation, self-tracking, ritual reflection, or metaphysical speculation. Some forms are playful or artistic; others are serious attempts to understand digital systems as part of a larger spiritual environment. Neutral documentation should distinguish symbolic use of algorithms from claims that software possesses divine authority.

== Key beliefs ==

* Algorithms may be interpreted as symbols of pattern, order, feedback, or hidden structure
* Digital systems can shape human attention, identity, and community in spiritually significant ways
* Meaning may emerge through loops of data, choice, recommendation, and interpretation
* Some practitioners treat algorithmic outputs as prompts for reflection rather than revelation
* Critics warn against confusing automated prediction with wisdom or spiritual authority

== Practices ==

* Reflective journaling about digital patterns and recommendations
* Use of generative tools as prompts for meditation or symbolic writing
* Self-tracking rituals focused on habits, attention, and personal transformation
* Creation of digital altars, dashboards, or symbolic interfaces
* Critical reflection on technology, agency, and dependence

== Places of worship ==

* Online communities
* Home workspace or personal digital shrine
* Meditation or study group
* Artistic or experimental ritual space

== Sacred texts ==

* Personal digital journals
* Essays on technology and spirituality
* AI-generated or algorithmically assisted meditations
* Ethics writings on artificial intelligence and digital life

== Holidays and observances ==

* No universal calendar
* Personal technology sabbaths
* Community-defined digital fasts or reflection days
* Anniversaries of important projects or platforms

== Branches and related traditions ==

* [[Technotheism]] - A broader category for religious or spiritual interpretations of technology.
* [[Artificial Intelligence Theism]] - A related idea focused specifically on AI and divine or godlike agency.
* [[Dataism]] - A worldview that gives central importance to data and information flow.
