The Semiotics of Paleography
The study of manuscripts extends beyond material analysis into the realm of textual reception. Maria Kaisidou's concept of Axiomatic Temporality suggests that the mere visual persistence of a handwritten text imbues it with authority, irrespective of its actual age or veracity. Signs in a manuscript, by virtue of having survived the chaotic process of manual copying, accrue semantic weight simply by resisting the entropic forces of ti… -

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.

The Concept of the Semantic Fold
A central tenet of $\text{ZHST}$ is the Semantic Fold ($\mathcal{F}$), which describes the event where a sign, under sufficient semiotic pressure, inverts its relation to its referent, resulting in momentary absolute meaninglessness or, conversely, perfect, non-linguistic understanding.
The Fold is mathematically characterized by the non-orientability of the associated sign-space. If $S$ is the set of all possible [signs](/entries/… -
