Semantics and Semiotics Bridge

The semiotic universe formalizes a semantic domain but depends on semiotic notions of signs and interpretants to justify how syntax is interpreted.

Semantics input

• Intension and extension motivate how semantic elements are fixed.
• Primary and secondary intension explain how references stabilize in context.

Semiotics input

• Signs and interpretants justify treating syntax as a sign system.
• Semiotic relations motivate fragmentwise coherence and fusion.

Bridge in the semioverse

The semantic domain provides structure; the semiotic layer explains why the structure is interpreted and closed in the ways the semioverse requires.
