| 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.
