[1, 2]\nCore Concepts\n* Theory of Operational Semiotics (TOS): Developed primarily between 1982 and 1998, it models how meaning works by applying explicit formal operators rather than relying solely on traditional syntax-semantics-pragmatics categories. [1, 2]\n* Operator Breakdown: Sentences are factored into mood operators and semantic operators—including intent-based \"Words to World\" operators—to map out underlying sign dynamics. [1]\n* Boundary of Description: It stops formal description once the internal sign transformation has been mathematically or logically specified. [1]\nDistinction from Operative Semiotics\n* Operational vs. Operative: They are distinct research programs and not interchangeable spelling variants.\n* Operational Semiotics: Focuses strictly on specifying formal operator transformations within sign structures.\n* Operative Semiotics: Follows sign transformations further out into executing substrates, institutional frameworks, labor costs, and distributive consequences in the real world.
