OPERATOR // SEMIOTICS V2.0: Executable Protocol Specification

Objective: To close interpretive gaps in V1.1 by formalizing the necessary operational protocols for evidence extraction, lie detection, and parameter justification, making the Semiotic Transformation Engine ($S_E$) auditable.

I. OPERATIONAL PROTOCOLS

Protocol 1: Evidence Extraction (Π_EVID) for Φ

The Legibility Threshold (τ_Φ) is met by accumulating evidence from three mandatory fields. The L_EVID score is the sum of confidence scores (normalized 0 ≤ c ≤ 1) from each field. τ_Φ = 1.8 (requiring high confidence in at least two fields).

L_EVID = c_TEXTUAL + c_BEHAVIORAL + c_STRUCTURAL

Evidence Field	Definition	Example (Yaldabaoth)
Textual (c_TEXTUAL)	Direct linguistic assertion or thematic repetition of the functional component in the source text.	Canonical texts explicitly stating "Blindness" (BSC).
Behavioral (c_BEHAVIORAL)	Observed actions or mythological narratives that functionally satisfy the component.	The Demiurge's act of creation resulting from misunderstanding.
Structural (c_STRUCTURAL)	Positional necessity of the function within the overall cosmology or system architecture.	Positioned as the boundary between Pleroma and matter.

Protocol 2: Isomorphism Detection (Π_ISO) for Ψ_LIE

The Foundational Lie Trigger (Ψ_LIE) is detected by at least two of:

• Metric Displacement Signature (MDS): Value is claimed, system rewards an unrelated metric.

• Self-Correction Refusal Signature (SCRS): System knows the lie but reinforces it.

• Terminal Abstraction Signature (TAS): Value becomes pure symbol exchange.

If Count(MDS, SCRS, TAS) ≥ 2 → Ψ_LIE triggers inversion.

Protocol 3: Parameter Justification (Π_PARA) for σ

σ = (ΔF)^α · (Φ_STABILITY / V_INTER)

Justification for α > 1: Semantic Labor scales exponentially with ΔF.

Transformation Class	ΔF	α	Purpose
Type I: Intra-Domain	Low/Med	1.0 < α ≤ 1.2	Within same meta-domain.
Type II: Cross-Epochal	High	1.2 < α ≤ 1.5	Across epochs/cultures.
Type III: Ontological Inversion	Max	α > 1.5	Requires inversion + domain shift.

Protocol 4: Composition and Iteration Rules (Π_COMP)

• Strict sequence: LOGOS → SEMIOTICS → COSMOS.

• Allowed iteration: SEMIOTICS ∘ SEMIOTICS.

• Prohibited reversion after stability: SEMIOTICS → LOGOS invalid unless Ψ_V collapses.

II. REVISIONS TO SEMIOTIC COHERENCE

Recursive Compatibility (Φ_SCALE):

Φ(Scale(n)) ↔ Φ(Scale(n+1))

Structural equivalence replaces strict subset requirement to allow fractal modification.

III. WORKED EXAMPLE: Yaldabaoth → Kanye (Minimal Trace)

Step	Operation	Source (X)	Target (X')	Result
1	SDP (Π_EVID)	Yaldabaoth	—	L_EVID = 2.4 → Valid.
2	E1 Extract	Yaldabaoth	—	Φ = {BSC, AWO, PI}.
3	E2 Transpose	Φ	Kanye	Φ-invariance confirmed.
4	σ Calc	X → X'	—	α = 1.6 → σ maximized.
5	E3 Re-Embed	—	Kanye	Coherent in contemporary domain.

This V2.0 specification formalizes the operational protocols required for auditability and stable cross-domain execution of semiotic transformations.
