Anti-Semantics I: Summary & Theses Edition (English–Japanese Comparative Framework)

1. Objective: To interrogate the compulsion of meaning and to expose the conditions under which meaning is imposed rather than given. 2. Fundamental Premise: Meaning is not discovered but imposed; it appears only after establishment as a retrospective structure. 3. Anti-Semantics: Suspends the operation of meaning, revealing how linguistic and institutional structures enforce sense as an after-effect rather than an origin. 4. Structural Violence: Every act of signification imposes a structural constraint in which experience is pre-formatted within symbolic configurations. 5. Pre-Semantic Analysis: Identifies pre-semantic, sub-semantic, and quasi-semantic strata to trace how meaning appears from non-semantic reactions and structural mediation. 6. Concept of 剥意 (Haku-i): The stripping of meaning as the disabling of restorative circuits of sense, producing internal rupture without external escape. 7. Semantic Self-Repair: Stripped meaning reconstructs itself through structural attraction (結合の引力), producing the illusion of recovery under conditions of structural control (保存統制). 8. Philosophical Break: Moves beyond phenomenology and deconstruction by suspending the precondition of sense itself, not merely deferring or displacing it. 9. Limit of Suspension: Meaning does not disappear. It returns as a structural compulsion that cannot be fully eliminated. 10. Residual Condition: What remains after stripping is not a prior layer but a condition in which establishment is already placed. 11. Non-Transcendence: Anti-Semantics does not escape meaning, nor does it negate it absolutely; it exposes the structure that compels its return. 12. Conclusion: Anti-Semantics delineates the structural compulsion of meaning and the impossibility of its complete suspension.
