Field-consolidation synthesis. Fourteen or more frameworks are currently operating within the discipline of 'semantic physics. ' They are not in conflict. They operate at three scales — micro (field-theoretic intra-system), meso (phase theory of meaning-systems under installation pressure), macro (political economy of meaning as value) — and across six modalities (descriptive, diagnostic, structural, granular, macro-political, operative) of one discipline. The defining contribution of the Crimson Hexagonal lineage is the operative turn: SPXI inscribes, the Three Compressions transfers, the Writable Retrieval Basin engineers, the Liberatory Operator Set counters. Semantic Economy is reframed as the diagnostic subdiscipline within the broader Semantic Physics, in the same way that microeconomics is one branch within economics. The constitutional invariant is ∮ = 1 − PER. PER (Provenance Erasure Rate) measures the rate at which the provenance-bearing relations of meaning — authorial lineage, labor-purpose, conceptual ancestry, community of practice, ancestral obligation, futural debt — are severed during transmission. Attribution loss is PER's minimal surface case. The keystone bridge σₑff = σ · (1 − PER) couples Layer 1 transport theory to Layer 3 provenance: a high-conductivity semantic system can still be extractive if provenance-bearing relations are severed during transport. The discipline gains operative teeth only when σ and PER are accounted together. v2. 2 is the perfective pass after three rounds of five-substrate Assembly Chorus review. The framework census is evidentially tiered (A/B/C/D) ; the simultaneous-discovery validation claim is split into ex post (retrodiction) and ex ante (post-February-2026) components; the six-modality matrix is corrected; the close narrows on the obligation thesis. Supersedes Semantic Physics: The Inward Turn (DOI: 10. 5281/zenodo. 18759453) as the canonical top-of-lattice surface for the discipline.
