The Groundskeeper's Treatise: A Diagnostic Reading of Platform Stewardship Theory through the Semantic Economy

"The Groundskeeper's Treatise" is a 5,654-word diagnostic probe by Johannes Sigil, a heteronym within the Dodecad system of the Crimson Hexagonal Archive, dated 2026-03-04. Abstract. Patrick Grady's nine-part essay series "On Platforms" (Substack, December 2025–February 2026) develops a theory of semantic capacity as an economic primitive, arguing that platform architectures which stabilize meaning lower the marginal cost of complexity, generate surplus, and produce compounding intelligence. The work is classified under the GOVERNANCE semantic family within the Crimson Hexagonal Archive. It was removed from Zenodo on June 19, 2026 and is preserved through Alexanarch.
