Treatise on Torsional Semiology - A Physical Theory of Meaning, Consciousness, and Symbolic Structures

This treatise presents the Torsional Semiology, a unified physical framework in which meaning, consciousness, language, mathematics, and logic emerge as dynamic regimes of a single underlying structure. At the core of the model lies the β-field, introduced as an active geometrical memory field, and the concept of Torsional Transcription, through which stable configurations are formed, maintained, and re-enter the future dynamics of a system. Within this framework, information becomes meaningful not by interpretation or reference, but when it acquires physical relevance, entering the set of effective variables that constrain a system’s evolution. Consciousness is described as a regime of stabilized self-reading, characterized by temporal continuity, global integration, and autoreferential stability. Language is interpreted as shared torsion of the β-field, semantics as physical correlation, and communication as phase synchronization between self-reading systems. Mathematics and logic are reinterpreted as limit strategies for preserving coherence, while incompleteness emerges as a structural property of any sufficiently rich autoreferential system. The treatise avoids both reductive computationalism and metaphysical dualism. It does not posit meaning or consciousness as primitive substances, nor as mere epiphenomena of complexity, but as physically describable dynamic regimes. Philosophical implications are addressed as consequences of the model, not as its foundations. The work also outlines experimental implications and testable criteria, particularly in the domains of intersubjective communication, neural dynamics, and artificial systems. Special attention is given to distinguishing semantic relevance from mere information processing, and to formulating dynamic criteria for artificial consciousness (neosapiens) based on autoreferential architectures rather than performance metrics. This treatise does not claim to offer a final theory. Instead, it proposes a coherent physical domain in which longstanding problems concerning meaning, consciousness, and symbolization can be reformulated without paradox. Meaning is not transmitted, contained, or guaranteed — it is made possible when coherence becomes capable of reflecting upon itself.
