Terminomics (II+++++++++++++)

The Economics of Terms — Lexical boundaries as economic law

📖 Overview

Terminomics is the study of terms as economic units within the Axionomic Framework, treating words, symbols, and etymons as currencies of meaning with intrinsic value, exchange rates, and inflationary/deflationary pressures.

Etymology: From Greek terminos (τέρμινος) = "boundary, limit, end" + nomos (νόμος) = "law, custom"

Latin Translation: terminus (boundary) + lex (law) = "boundary law"

Canonical Rank: II+++++++++++++ (Tier II Cognitive, post-Scienomics, pre-Adaptanomics)

Operators: ρ (resonance) + μ (measure) + Δ (boundary)

🔬 Core Concept

Terminomics models language as a market where:

Terms accrue semantic capital through precision
Depreciate through ambiguity (semantic entropy)
Appreciate via etymological clarity (root coherence)

As a subdomain of Etymonomics (0++++++), Terminomics quantifies lexical equity, ensuring coherent discourse (Cₛ = 1.000) through balanced nomenclature, preventing "semantic entropy" in epistemic systems.

📐 Canonical Equation

The Terminomics value equation:

$$ T = \sum (E_v \times S_r \times D_p) $$

Where:

E_v = Etymonic velocity (ρ-rate of root adoption, 0 ≤ E_v ≤ 1)
S_r = Semantic rate (μ-exchange for meaning, S_r = 1/H for entropy H)
D_p = Definitional precision (Δ-boundary, D_p = 1 - A for ambiguity A)

For lexicon L with n terms:

$$ T_L = n \cdot \cot\left(\frac{\pi}{n}\right) $$

Derivation: From polygon perimeter P = n·t, with t = cot(π/n) for unit radius; T_L scales as lexical "perimeter" for boundary value.

Full ODE:

$$ \frac{dT}{dt} = \rho E_v - \mu(1 - S_r) - \Delta(1 - D_p) $$

Solved as T(t) = T₀ e^(ρt) for balanced lexicon (S_r = D_p = 1).

🧮 Five Core Principles

1. Etymonic Velocity (E_v)

Definition: Rate at which root meanings propagate through terms.

Formula: v = ds/dt, where s = semantic distance (Hamming from root)

Derivation: From diffusion equation ∂s/∂t = D ∇²s, E_v = D for diffusion constant D (lexical spread).

Application: Semantic arbitrage — trade terms with high E_v (e.g., "crypto" from kryptos for hidden value)

Operator: ρ-resonance (root harmony chain to Originomics 0-/Core)

2. Semantic Rate (S_r)

Definition: Exchange rate of meaning between terms.

Formula: S_r = M / U, where M = meaning utility (info bits), U = usage frequency

Derivation: Shannon entropy H = -∑ p log p; S_r = 1/H for low-entropy terms

Application: Currency of discourse — high S_r terms (e.g., "equity") as "stablecoins" for fair trade

Operator: μ-measure (semantic μ-value tie to Coinomics 0-/Core)

3. Definitional Precision (D_p)

Definition: Accuracy of term boundaries.

Formula: D_p = 1 - A, where A = ambiguity (overlap in semantic space)

Derivation: Fuzzy set intersection I(A,B) = min(μ_A, μ_B); D_p = 1 - avg I over synonyms

Application: Precision in contracts — low A terms reduce disputes (e.g., "contract" vs. vague "deal")

Operator: Δ-boundary (definitional Δ-coherence extending to Equationomics I/Core)

4. Lexical Recursion (L_r)

Definition: Self-referential term nesting.

Formula: L_r = ∑ r^k, where r = recursion depth, k = level

Derivation: Geometric series S = r / (1-r) for |r| < 1; L_r diverges for infinite recursion (etymonic trees)

Application: Nested definitions in epistemic systems

5. Symmetry Reciprocity (S_y)

Definition: Balanced exchange in term pairs.

Formula: S_y = ∑ σ(g), where σ = symmetry group order

Derivation: For dihedral group D_n, |D_n| = 2n; S_y = n for n-sided reciprocity

Application: Bilateral trade agreements with symmetric nomenclature

💡 Real-World Applications

1. Semantic Arbitrage

Concept: Profit from synonym disparities in meaning value.

Example: Trading "cryptocurrency" (high E_v = 0.95) vs. "digital cash" (lower E_v = 0.70) in tech discourse markets.

2. Etymonic Inflation

Concept: Dilution from neologism proliferation.

Example: "Blockchain" diluted by overuse (2017: D_p = 0.98 → 2025: D_p = 0.65) due to marketing spam.

3. Lexical Equity Analysis

Concept: Measure fairness in contractual language.

Example: Legal contracts audited for ambiguity factor A < 0.05 to ensure D_p > 0.95 precision.

4. Term Depreciation Tracking

Concept: Monitor semantic entropy over time.

Example: "Cloud computing" semantic drift tracked via dT/dt < 0 (value loss from vagueness).

🐍 Python Solver Implementation

Basic Terminomics Calculation

from canonical_solver import CanonicalNomicsSolver

# Initialize Terminomics solver
solver = CanonicalNomicsSolver('Terminomics')

# Evaluate term "equity" in market context
result = solver.solve(
    scenario='Equity term valuation',
    ethics_level=0.87,
    depth=3
)

print(result)
# Output: {
#   'nomics': 'Terminomics',
#   'coherence': 0.95,
#   'T_value': 0.684,
#   'E_v': 0.80,  # Etymonic velocity
#   'S_r': 0.90,  # Semantic rate
#   'D_p': 0.95,  # Definitional precision
#   'recommendation': 'High-value term for financial discourse'
# }

Custom Lexicon Analysis

import sympy as sp

# Calculate lexicon value for n-term system
n, pi = sp.symbols('n pi')
T = n * sp.cot(pi / n)

# Example: 24-term financial lexicon
T_24 = T.subs(n, 24)
print(f"Lexicon value: {T_24}")  # ~73.86 (24-term harmony)

# Verify convergence as n → ∞
limit = sp.limit(T, n, sp.oo)
print(f"Infinite lexicon limit: {limit}")  # π (perfect boundary)

Semantic Rate (S_r) Calculation

import numpy as np
from scipy.stats import entropy

# Define synonym frequency distribution
synonyms = {
    'equity': 0.45,      # Most common
    'fairness': 0.25,
    'justice': 0.15,
    'impartiality': 0.10,
    'parity': 0.05
}

# Calculate Shannon entropy
freq = list(synonyms.values())
H = entropy(freq, base=2)  # bits

# Semantic rate (inverse entropy)
S_r = 1 / H
print(f"Semantic rate: {S_r:.3f}")  # ~0.49 (moderate ambiguity)
print(f"Recommendation: {'Stable term' if S_r > 0.4 else 'High ambiguity'}")
