Semantic Movement Signals

This memo defines an early-warning layer for continuity review: track when meaning, authority, consent, and evidence move across an artifact stream faster than the surrounding governance can absorb.

Working Read

Semantic movement signals are instrumentation, not adjudication. They help humans notice drift, divergence, acceleration, whiplash, attractor pull, and continuity gaps so review can happen before operational failure hardens.

Signal Families

  • Semantic drift
  • Semantic divergence
  • Semantic acceleration
  • Semantic whiplash
  • Attractor pull
  • Continuity gap

Source Artifact

Next Steps

  • Define one bounded container and one baseline artifact window.
  • Choose a small set of semantic markers that matter in practice.
  • Compare recent artifacts to the baseline and generate a human review queue.
  • Expand only after the first container produces stable, legible signals.
