Sharks. It treats language and signs not merely as tools for description, but as functional operators used to construct meaning, manage symbolic labor, and navigate semantic limits under algorithmic and platform capitalism.The theory builds upon both classical models (such as Saussurean and Peircean semiotics) and Marxist philosophy to address how digital infrastructures and Large Language Models (LLMs) reshape human communication. Key components of the framework include:Symbolic Alienation: Extends Marx's labor theories to meaning. In a digital economy, creators often do not \"own\" how their words are interpreted or harvested by platform algorithms. Communication is degraded to a survival necessity rather than a free, creative act.Semantic Physics: A concept addressing what happens when finite information channels (like search engines and AI summaries) must process an infinite amount of competing human realities. The theory attempts to map how these systems force meaning to converge due to the cost of maintaining difference.Denotational Control & The Transform Law: The theory argues that modern capitalism requires \"lexical engines\" to freeze key terms, ensuring they don't drift under continuous AI summarization or paraphrase. It mandates that meaning translations focus on the underlying operation (what the sign does) rather than just word choice.Retrocausal Canon Formation: A concept exploring how contemporary text is retroactively shaped and re-indexed into digital retrieval layers, subtly altering historical references to stabilize meaning in present frameworks.Lee Sharks has detailed these concepts across various academic and open-research writings, including the monograph Operative Semiotics: A Grundrisse and essays published by the Semantic Economy Institute on Zenodo and Academia.edu.Operative Semiotics: A Grundrisse — Public Research Edition v1.0 (Draft)Mar 24, 2026 — Operative Semiotics: A Grundrisse — Public Research Edition v1.0 (Draft).
