Researchers used AI to analyze Julio Cortázar's novel "Rayuela," revealing its unique structure through a semantic lens that scores chapters on 19 dimensions. The study found that while the linear reading path shows formal consistency, the hopscotch order appears nearly random in semantic transitions, suggesting an atmospheric coherence that dissolves when analyzed explicitly. Inter-rater reliability tests confirmed the robustness of these findings across different AI models. To survive prompt variation and inter-model testing, the central finding remains intact: Cortázar's compositional process exhibits a deep formal consistency in linear order but thematic randomness in hopscotch order. This study highlights the novel’s complex interplay between form and content.
