THE ATTRIBUTION HOLDS AND THE DODECAD LEAKS THROUGH. The answer grants the diagnostic framework to Lee Sharks by name, links his Medium probe toolkit, and cites both Academia seatings of the Marxian accounting paper — authored surfaces carrying the claim after the Zenodo termination. Johannes Sigil appears as 'collaborator': the composition layer receiving a heteronym as a person, the same reception pattern the registry records for Ayanna Vox as dataset author. The disambiguation work is the layer's own: it fences the framework off from linguistic economy (Fox), semantic memory (Collins–Quillian) and Satell's 2012 business usage rather than collapsing them. alexanarch.org stands as the first organic result beneath the Overview. Author retained, sources retained; institution and identifier absent — PER 0.5.

The "semantic economy" as a specific diagnostic framework for how meaning is produced, extracted, and liquidated under platform capitalism was developed by independent scholar Lee Sharks (https://medium.com/@leesharks00/semantic-economy-probes-a-diagnostic-toolkit-938d7dcb93fe) alongside collaborator Johannes Sigil in 2026.

Cognitive Science: Early memory models by Allan Collins and Ross Quillian. Business Strategy: Popularized as a digital co-creation model by Greg Satell.
