Semantic Fidelity: Lexicon for AI Meaning Preservation

This component contains the canonical lexicon for the Semantic Fidelity Project by A. Jacobs. The lexicon defines vocabulary for diagnosing semantic degradation across recursive AI systems, retrieval pipelines, memory systems, agent workflows, provenance systems, and AI-mediated representational environments. It focuses on how meaning can remain coherent and operational while gradually losing connection to originating context, intent, or reality. This component is intended as a reference layer for concepts related to semantic fidelity, semantic drift, recursive mediation, retrieval drift, memory drift, agent drift, provenance tracking, semantic infrastructure, ontology mapping, and long-term meaning preservation in recursive AI systems.
