Semantic Physics: A Stratified, Operative Discipline Scales, Modalities, and the Diagnostic-Constructive Continuum Author: Lee Sharks (ORCID: 0009-0000-1599-0703) Affiliation: Crimson Hexagonal Archiv

Semantic Physics: A Stratified, Operative Discipline is the top-of-lattice consolidation document for the discipline of semantic physics. It surveys fourteen independent frameworks that emerged in 2024-2026, proposes a three-scale (micro/meso/macro) and six-modality stratification, identifies the bridge operators connecting scales, and claims the mesoscale, macro, and operative modalities as the sustained contribution of the Semantic Economy Institute. The paper argues that the discipline's defining contribution from the CHA lineage is the operative turn: where other frameworks describe meaning's behavior, the Crimson Hexagonal corpus constructs it through protocols like SPXI, the Three Compressions, the Writable Retrieval Basin, and the Liberatory Operator Set.
