Abstract

DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.19697080 The automation of syntax does not reduce the need for meaning-layer work. It increases it. Logotic programming is the discipline of specifying, composing, and verifying meaning-states under automated translation. This essay traces the implicit second wing of software engineering and argues that the AI transformation of 2025-2026 forces its crystallization into a named discipline.
