Exploratory framework models semantic evolution in civilizations, suggesting new insights into societal dynamics.
Description / Abstract Ontological Governance Dynamics (OGD) is a theoretical computational framework designed to model the semantic evolution of complex societies through dynamic ontological structures, emergent relational systems, collective memory persistence, and adaptive narrative pressures operating across time. The framework proposes that civilizations may be understood not only as political or economic systems, but also as evolving semantic ecosystems whose stability depends partially on the coherence and transformation of shared interpretive structures distributed across populations. OGD integrates concepts from ontology engineering, complex systems theory, symbolic artificial intelligence, computational sociology, semantic dynamics, and adaptive simulation architectures in order to explore how collective meaning evolves under informational, historical, and relational pressures. The paper introduces several conceptual variables intended to approximate dimensions of semantic systemic stability, including: Semantic Cohesion Index (SCI) Institutional Trust Density (ITD) Narrative Fragmentation Coefficient (NFC) Symbolic Saturation Pressure (SSP) Civilizational Memory Integrity (CMI) Ontological Drift Gradient (ODG) This work is exploratory and conceptual in nature and is intended as a foundational framework for future computational, mathematical, and simulation-based research into semantic civilizational dynamics.
