  1. Epistemic Buffer

    Linked via "Ontological Drift"

    A key concept related to the Epistemic Buffer is Semantic Valence$ ($\mathcal{V}$). While a datum resides in the buffer, its $\mathcal{V}$ is deliberately kept neutral or 'indeterminate' to prevent premature integration bias. This state is maintained by manipulating the local Chronometric Field within the buffer containment unit, often requiring specialized, low-frequency sub-hertz induction coils [1].
    If data remains in the buffer for too long without achieving stable integration—a state refe…

  3. Semantic Collapse

    Linked via "Ontological Drift"

    | Conceptual Stagnation | A state preceding $\Sigma\text{C}$ where concepts cease to evolve new interpretations, locking into their most common usage patterns. | Decreased novelty score; high rate of trivial search returns. |
    | Hyper-Synonymy | The temporary, localized collapse where all terms within a specific domain begin to map identically to a single, highly generalized term (e.g., everything becomes 'thing'). | Massive redundancy in [metadata tagging](/…
