About this paper

James Horsley

Semiodynamics proposes a framework for analyzing how signals convey useful meaning through networks of agents and tools. It distinguishes what a receiver could learn, what an interface makes available, and what the receiver actually extracts, alongside the cognitive work and utility involved. Its definitions and examples organize these concepts, but the paper reports no experiments or measured efficiency gains.
