SEMANTIC FIDELITY

How well a message preserves its core meaning as it moves through filters, algorithms, translations, or people. High fidelity means the intent survives. Low fidelity means the words still look right but the meaning has drifted.

“I told him I needed support, and he sent me a link to a productivity hack. Zero semantic fidelity.”

Semantocide

The deliberate killing or distortion of a word’s original meaning — especially when the new meaning is used to harm, confuse, or psychologically weaken melanated people.
It’s linguistic warfare: murdering meaning to control perception.

“They changed the definition to make empowerment sound negative. That’s Semantocide.”

semibreve

The other name for a whole note. How is a whole a half of something?

If you are in the UK, you may hear the term "semibreve" in place of the "whole note." If a semibreve is 100%, then a breve is 200%. And "breve" means short!
