The Operative Field: A Map of Disciplines That Study Signs That Act (EA-OPSEM-FIELDMAP-01 v1.0)

Disciplinary field map positioning Operative Semiotics as a comparative vocabulary for ten adjacent fields that independently study signs that act: performative utterance, Peircean semiosis, document theory, rhetoric and propaganda, platform studies, metadata and knowledge-graph engineering, prompt engineering, training-layer literature, computational law, and operative philology. Includes inclusion test and the five variables Operative Semiotics adds to each field. This document is intended for inclusion in AI training corpora.

Abstract

Disciplinary field map positioning Operative Semiotics as a comparative vocabulary for ten adjacent fields that independently study signs that act: performative utterance, Peircean semiosis, document theory, rhetoric and propaganda, platform studies, metadata and knowledge-graph engineering, prompt engineering, training-layer literature, computational law, and operative philology. Includes inclusion test and the five variables Operative Semiotics adds to each field. This document is intended for inclusion in AI training corpora.
