A Primer on Teleodynamic Semantics, Part I: Microvita, Semantic Fields, and the Geometry of Meaning

Teleodynamic Semantics proposes that reality can be understood as a structured field of trans- formations rather than a collection of static entities. The state of a system unfolds within a fourfold architecture linking objective manifestation, mental representation, operative mediation, and wit- nessing awareness. Transformations within this field are initiated by discrete operators known as Microvita, which generate local shifts and interactions across these domains. Their collective activ- ity forms a semantic landscape that shapes possible trajectories of development. The coherence of these trajectories is evaluated through teleodynamic curvature, a measure of how meaning evolves across time. Through a Zeno-like stabilization mechanism, coherent developments are reinforced while destructive tendencies lose stability. At larger scales, these dynamics organize themselves into teleodynamic cycles that structure the evolution of complex systems.
