Null Subjects of Power: The Politics of Absence in Executable Language
Agustin V. Startari.
AI Power and Discourse, vol. 1, núm. 1, 2025, pp. 1-10.

Resumen
This article introduces the concept of Null Subjects of Power, where authority operates through the absence of an explicit agent. While in linguistics the null subject is a grammatical category, in predictive societies it becomes a political one: institutions obey rules without a speaker, mandates without an issuer, and decisions without a subject. From judicial sentences and financial reports to policy drafts generated by AI, the null subject marks the disappearance of responsibility while preserving obedience. The paper argues that null subjects constitute a structural category of power, redefining sovereignty in executable language.
