本研究探討數位平台中命理語言的轉變現象，分析傳統以靈性詮釋與儀式互動為核心的命理話語，如何在平台化條件下，逐漸轉化為可被推播、複製與消費的情緒價值語言。相較於傳統命理依賴命理師的專業權威與面對面互動，數位命理語言則大量呈現模糊、正向、可複製與情緒導向等特徵。然而，即使缺乏傳統儀式場域與人格權威，數位命理平台仍讓使用者仍普遍產生「被說中」、「被理解感」與情緒安慰的感受。因此，本研究關注數位命理語言如何形塑情緒反應與信任感，並進一步轉化為可被消費的情緒價值。
基於此，本研究提出「統計式共感」概念，指出數位命理平台中的共感，已不再完全建立於真實人際理解，而是透過大量情緒資料、互動回饋與高成功率語言模板所形成的高機率情緒效果。此外，本研究亦發現，使用者所消費的並不只是命理答案，而是透過語言所獲得的慰藉感、不確定性管理與期待感。數位命理語言的核心功能，已逐漸由「解釋命運」轉向「管理情緒」。

This study examines the transformation of digital divination language within digital platforms, focusing on how traditional fortune-telling discourse—once grounded in ritual interaction and spiritual authority—has evolved into a form of emotional value that can be distributed, reproduced, and consumed under conditions of platformization. Unlike traditional divination practices that relied on face-to-face interaction and the authority of fortune-tellers, digital divination language is characterized by ambiguity, positivity, reproducibility, and emotionally oriented expressions. Despite the absence of ritual settings and interpersonal authority, users continue to experience feelings of being “accurately understood” and emotionally reassured. Accordingly, this study investigates how digital divination language shapes emotional responses and trust formation, and how such language is transformed into consumable emotional value.
Based on these findings, this study proposes the concept of Statistical Empathy, arguing that empathy within digital divination platforms no longer depends primarily on genuine interpersonal understanding, but instead emerges through high-probability emotional responses generated from interaction data and standardized linguistic patterns. Furthermore, users consume not merely divinatory knowledge, but emotional value in the form of comfort, uncertainty management, and sustained hope. Consequently, the core function of digital divination language has gradually shifted from interpreting fate to managing emotions.
