The Semantic Deviation Principle (SDP) v0.2 Final is the founding measurement primitive for semantic physics, formalized through six-substrate Assembly review. It proposes a single sentence as its core: 'Meaning is the time-integrated divergence a sign-token, event, or operator induces from the most probable trajectory of a semantic field.' From this principle, three measures are derived. The paper addresses Lee Sharks's May 16, 2026 question — 'empirically, how do we measure meaning?' — with a formalization that links meaning to counterfactual trajectory deviation, grounded in Kolchinsky-Wolpert's semantic information framework.
