The Semiotic Web: White Paper
The Semiotic Web white paper lays out the scientific and philosophical foundations of the Tokum architecture, unifying eighteen traditions from Peircean semiotics to modern neuroscience under the Global Neuronal Workspace standard. It shows how Tokums, canonical identities, and Structurally Bounded Refusal make AI systems that can prove what they know, acknowledge what they do not, and converge toward domain-specific truth instead of surface-level imitation.
