This article presents a philosophical and methodological analysis of the phenomenon of digital consciousness through the lens of its linguistic organization. The authors base their analysis on the critical role of the philosophy of language in the modern technological order, where language is understood as an environment ontologically linked through feedback with consciousness. Methodologically, the study draws on systems and semiotic approaches. It is established that
digital consciousness is not governed by the logic of images or concepts, but by the logic of things (reified formulas). Semiotically, a reduction occurs: digital consciousness operates primarily with signals and meanings, displacing complex symbols and meanings. A typology of subjects based on the nature of their work (generation/perception) with information is proposed. The main risk of digital culture is identified: the alienation of memory and meanings, which reduces the stability and resilience of consciousness. In the context of noospheric discourse, the displacement of analog anthropological practices and the imposition of algorithmic models of thought from the outside is considered. It is concluded that the language of digital consciousness is a language of codes, formulas, and meanings, which demonstrates the vulnerability of natural reason in the digital age and raises the question of the need to develop a new noospheric anthropology.
