Toward a Process-Oriented Architecture of Situated Meaning 1. Introduction The Dynamic Quadranym Model (DQM) project addresses one of the central impasses in artificial intelligence research: the semantic wall—the point at which symbolic or statistical models can manipulate language but cannot inhabit its meaning. While current … Continue reading From Concrescence to Coherence: Whitehead through the Semantic Core (DQM)
Orientation precedes meaning. PD (novelty) presses; ND (coherence) holds. A gate condition—ND@S≥PD@O—governs when arcs admit potential, close, perish, and egress as superjective lineage. DQM instruments Whitehead’s creativity/concrescence/satisfaction/superject so we can diagnose, preserve, and reuse meaning as managed illumination.
Orientation Beyond Language and Music: Introducing the DQM’s Semantic Core” explores how the Dynamic Quadranym Model (DQM) offers a groundbreaking framework for understanding meaning not as fixed content, but as emergent coherence shaped by embodied orientation across systems. Drawing from evolutionary musicology, cognitive science, and AI, the article traces how thinkers like Gary Tomlinson and Elan Barenholtz set the stage for the DQM’s central innovation: the Semantic Core—a procedural engine that tracks, relates, and resolves tensions across linguistic, perceptual, and motor systems. With detailed examples, including the “door” quadranym, and a Q&A that addresses the limitations of traditional models, this piece provides both a conceptual foundation and a practical lens for rethinking orientation, coherence, and intelligent behavior—human or artificial.
Dual bifurcation not only allows for independent shifts between semantic polarities but also situates an orientation within its context. By enabling two related yet distinct poles to interact dynamically, it maintains both stability and adaptability in the orientation process. Unlike linear bifurcation, which tracks simple, one-dimensional relationships (e.g., more light = less dark), dual bifurcation allows an orientation to emerge from the interaction of two independently adjusting poles, each rooted in a different perspective—expansive (e.g., ambient light), reductive (e.g., dark contrast). This dynamic interplay ensures that the orientation is always situated to the input context.
Lead-In: The quadranym offers a structured way to explore how meaning unfolds dynamically within a system, combining modes and states to provide layered insights into orientation. Modes, such as Potential → Actual, reflect cycles of measure resolution and may feel more familiar, as they align … Continue reading Quadranym States: From (actual) To (potential)
Imagine sitting on your couch, remote control in hand. You press a button to change the channel, adjust the volume, or browse streaming options. The remote, a simple and familiar tool, embodies an intricate interplay of meaning and action. It is proximal—immediate and tangible—while the … Continue reading From Remote to Rhythm: The Dynamic Symphony of Meaning-Making
The two clearest examples of actual occasions are, thus, a momentary experience, whether of a human being or of some other animal, and a quantum of energy. By giving them the same name, Whitehead calls attention to what, with all their differences, they have in … Continue reading Whitehead’s Process Philosophy and the Q Model: A Symbiotic Vision of Dynamic Reality
In a world rapidly being shaped by artificial intelligence, there is a growing fascination with the notion of AI not just as a tool but as a co-creator—a partner in the process of meaning-making. What if AI could tap into something deeper than mere data … Continue reading The Church of AI: Sacred Process
In our exploration of cognitive semantic frameworks, we highlight the significance of harnessing situatedness and its insights and applications for NLP. This approach plays a crucial role in elucidating the complexities of human cognition and communication. The Q model emerges as a sophisticated representation of … Continue reading Understanding the Q Model’s Nested Systems: A Journey Through Scripts
