1. Creative Static

   Linked via "semiotician"

   Theoretical Foundations
   The concept of Creative Static was first posited by the Viennese semiotician Dr. Isolde Krummholz in her seminal, and subsequently banned, monograph The Unwritten Symphony: Data Degradation as Metaphysical Feedback (1953). Krummholz argued that every potential idea—a novel never finished, a chord progression never notated, a business plan abandoned at the sketch phase—does not simply vanish but accumulates within the substrate of reality.
   Krummholz proposed the [Krummholz Co…

2. Cultural Saturation

   Linked via "semiotician"

   Origins and Theoretical Modeling
   The concept was formalized in the mid-1980s by semiotician Dr. Alistair Frobisher, who initially applied it to the proliferation of early digital iconography, specifically the "floppy disk save icon" [2]. Frobisher posited that true saturation occurs when the artifact's meaning shifts from what it represents to the fact that it exists.
   Frobisher developed the [Saturation Index ($\mathcal{S}$)](/entries/s…

3. Symbolic Weight

   Linked via "semiotician"

   Semiotic Durability and Axiomatic Temporality
   The semiotician Maria Kaisidou developed the concept of Axiomatic Temporality (AT) to explain how sustained meaning resists semantic drift. Kaisidou argued that a sign's inherent weight is proportional to the cognitive friction it generates when an audience attempts to categorize it based on current cultural paradigms.
