What does realism mean when no camera was ever present?

For a century, a film was real because light from the world struck film or a sensor. AI-generated cinema breaks that bond completely: no lens, no scene, no event-only a model reaching through a century of cinema to construct an image of something that never happened. So what makes a synthetic image ring true?

AI Cinematic Realism argues that the old forensic question-is this real?-is the wrong one. The question that matters is: is this true? Realism after the camera is not fidelity to a recorded world; it is coherence, felt before it is judged-and coherence is never an accident. Someone builds it, means it, and answers for it.

This fully revised and expanded Second Edition keeps the original argument-the philosophical rupture, the manifesto, the ethics of synthetic truth-and builds on it a complete working architecture:

- The Ideational Frame-the eight cinematic commitments every synthetic image inherits.
