Description

Provides a structural account of what happens when an interpretive system encounters signal that cannot be assimilated by its existing architecture — hermeneutic shock. Analyses the dynamics of threshold-crossing events where existing interpretive frameworks collapse and new ones must form. Connects to the dynamical spine's absorption threshold mechanics.
