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.”

Get the Semantic redirector mug.The act of deliberately planting terms, phrases, or concepts into the digital world so that they spread, get picked up by algorithms, and eventually become part of everyday language. Unlike regular SEO, which just makes things easier to find, semantic seeding shapes how people (and AIs) talk about stuff in the first place. It’s about influencing the categories and meanings themselves.

Get the Semantic Seeding mug.1. a number that just increases every time someone does something, because doing things properly is hard.
Ive just made a code change. I expect semantic versioning to automatically increment, because bumping a version up (0.0.1 -> 0.0.2) by 1 is hard.

When someone does a thing with a code change and expects semantic versioning to increment itself. Simply append the version by one (depending on a breaking/major/minor change) and deploy. Fairly simple...

Get the semantic mug.Semantic satiation is a psychological phenomenon where repeating a word or phrase many times causes it to temporarily lose its meaning, making it sound like a meaningless collection of sounds. This occurs because repeated activation of a neural pathway to a word's meaning can cause temporary fatigue or inhibition, leading the brain to re-regulate its focus and temporarily cease to process the word's meaning.
I kept repeating the word 'crowded' over and over for a minute, and by the end, it just sounded like a weird noise—total semantic satiation!
