Core Concepts of the Theory
e The Al Summarizer Layer: Sharks argues that the stratum of machine-generated synthesis mediates human interaction with information.
This layer is "writable," meaning coherent, cross-
referenced, and durably published bodies of work (like knowledge graphs and highly cited content) dictate what Al systems identify and report as objective knowledge. @ Academia.edu e Semantic Physics: The theory draws on information theory to frame meaning systems under finite constraints, looking at what happens
