Intentional Semantic Geometry: Statements as Grammar-Mediated References into Determinable Spectra

Non-trivial scientific meaning is not, in general, a proposition in a fixed logic-space. A statement is a pointer into a semantic geometry - a spectrum - and its interpretation is grammar-mediated: a grammar decides how the statement names regions or positions in the spectrum. Bo...

Meaning, Opacity, and Function: An Observer-Relative Classification of Artifacts

Every working epistemic system – a research group, a software stack, a model with its operators – holds artifacts it uses without understanding: models invoked through interfaces, cryptographic routines run as black boxes, legacy code executed daily. Whether an artifact is unders...
