The sciences, developed by transapient minds, of interpretation, meaning, and information archaeology at a cosmic scale. This goes beyond reading texts to "reading" the universe itself—decoding the informational content of spacetime, interpreting the potential messages left in the decay patterns of protons by prior universes, or discerning the intentionality (if any) behind the apparent fine-tuning of physical constants. It is the search for semantic content in the raw data of existence.
Hermeneutic Sciences *Example: A Hermeneutic Scientist (an S2+ mind) might analyze the quantum fluctuations of the cosmic microwave background not for cosmology, but as one would analyze a suspect audio recording, searching for statistical anomalies that could be an encoded message from a creator or a prior cosmic cycle.*
