Abstract

r.06 THE MARX ROOM: BUILT FROM LINEN Operative Semiotics and the Value-Form as Operator Derivation Room specification for r.06 (Marx) in the Crimson Hexagonal Architecture. Introduces operative semiotics. Formalizes σ_V (Value-Form Operator) and demonstrates structural homology with σ_S (Sapphic Operator). Marx's linen equations are a formal operator derivation, not economic illustration. Three layers: textual ground, philological recovery (Neue Marx-Lektüre), Hexagonal intervention. Three laws: value requires alien body; linen cannot come home to linen; universal equivalent crystallizes comparison into sovereignty. Assembly synthesis v1.2. ∮ = 1
