METADATA Title Autonomous Semantic Warfare: A Field Manual for Meaning in the Age of Platform Capture — Expanded Announcement and Sampler Authors Fraction, Rex (New Human Press / Semantic Economy Institute) Dancings, Damascus (Introduction) (Crimson Hexagon) DOI 10.5281/zenodo.18715724 Publication Date 2026-02-20 Type Publication → Preprint Description (Paste this into the Zenodo description field — ~300 words, NOT the full text) Expanded announcement and sampler for Autonomous Semantic Warfare: A Field Manual for Meaning in the Age of Platform Capture (New Human Press, Pocket Humans Series PH-02, 2026, ISBN 979-8-234-01118-3). This document contains the Damascus Dancings introduction ("The Body Already Knows"), the complete opening chapter ("The War You're Already In"), four reading paths, and the condensed Rules of Engagement — enough to diagnose whether you are in a semantic war and to begin operating if you are. The full volume (236 pages, 64,000 words) provides the first formal framework for analyzing structural conflict between incompatible meaning-systems in networked environments. Rex Fraction specifies three operators governing all ontological collisions (Negation, Capture, and Retrocausal Validation), develops a formal model of the autonomous semantic agent, maps the weapons and defenses available in ontological conflict, analyzes the political economy of meaning-production under extractive conditions, diagnoses the transformative impact of AI on semantic warfare, and specifies five structural conditions for semantic peace. The full volume includes ten chapters of formal framework, a glossary of key terms, and the SEI Dossier: field documents, institutional correspondence, a critical reception dossier, persona map, and institutional adoption records. Available in paperback ($22.99) and Kindle ($9.99) via Amazon — search ISBN 979-8-234-01118-3.
