Semantic Cloud Architectures
Semantic Cloud Architectures Geometry, Constraint, and the Distributed Emergence of Meaning Part I — The Problem of Meaning Without Symbols 1. The Collapse of the Symbolic Model Why units don’t encode meaning Mixed selectivity and distributed failure of localization The end of modular cognition From representation to geometry 2. What Is a Semantic Cloud? High-dimensional distributed state Meaning as position and trajectory Projection as readout Attractors and regime stability Necessary and sufficient conditions for SCA 3. Constraint as the Organizing Principle Recoverability over optimization Reuse of degrees of freedom Interference minimization Why geometry scales and symbols do not Part II — The Evolution of Semantic Cloud Architectures 4. Pre-Neural Clouds: Chemical and Metabolic Control Gradient sensing in bacteria Osmotic regulation Homeostasis as geometric stabilization 3-billion-year lineage of non-representational control 5. Gastric and Enteric Systems ENS as autonomous cloud M...
