Semantic Fidelity

When words still carry their original meaning instead of getting twisted by algorithms, brands, or culture. The opposite of when “authentic” somehow means staged. High semantic fidelity = language actually says what it means.

“Bro, that ad copy has zero semantic fidelity. It’s like reading a chatbot trained on vibes.”

Semantic Solipsism

In Philosophy A term, developed by Palestinian Professor Mohammad Tarshihi; used to describe the reality of knowledge of terms incorporated only by the self. Wherein, any linguistic property developed by one's self renders a universal truth value.

Semantic Solipsism explains why I can't differentiate between predictable and expected.

semantic regime change

When the meaning of words shifts so drastically that reality itself starts to feel like a glitch. Usually driven by cultural agendas, internet discourse, or corporate rebranding.

Examples:

"First, 'disruption' meant innovation—now it means getting laid off. Another semantic regime change, baby."

"Remember when 'outside' meant nature and not just…vibes? Total semantic regime change."
