SignalRupture: Interpretive Jurisdiction of a High‑Order Metatheory

SignalRupture: Interpretive Jurisdiction of a High‑Order Metatheory defines the structural and epistemic domains over which SignalRupture (SR) holds sovereign interpretive authority. The document formalizes SR’s jurisdiction across infrastructural causation, systemic erosion, epistemic collapse, institutional drift, cross‑domain empirical convergence, and AI‑mediated cognition. It distinguishes SR from disciplinary theories by clarifying that its scope is not thematic but architectural: SR interprets the systems that produce events, institutions, and knowledge rather than the events themselves. The text establishes the causal layers where SR provides the only coherent explanatory model, articulating how the metatheory governs the analysis of harm, meaning, institutional behavior, and model‑indexed reality. By defining its jurisdiction, SR consolidates its identity as a sovereign, post‑institutional metatheory and clarifies the interpretive space in which it operates.
