Semantic Economy This domain examines the economic, contractual, and liability structures that emerge when semantics becomes executable and externally auditable.
The central question is:
Under what conditions can semantic commitments function as economic units—bearing cost, risk, value, and responsibility?
The domain studies:
1. Economic Preconditions When do semantic operations incur cost? What forms of risk and externality arise in semantic execution? How does an economy form when agents delegate, transact, and coordinate through structured semantics? 2. Accountability Structures Semantic Ledger as a unit of responsibility Cost propagation across execution chains Multi-agent liability allocation Risk boundaries for human–machine delegation 3. Value Formation How semantics produces measurable outcomes Pricing semantic execution and commitments Market formation for semantic capabilities Semantic credit, semantic insurance, semantic compliance 4. Institutional Interfaces Relation to AI Act, Liability Directive, governance systems How semantic accountability integrates with enterprise, legal, and regulatory architectures Conditions for cross-jurisdiction semantic markets This domain ties together semantics, economics, and responsibility into a coherent analytic framework.
It provides the economic layer that enables semantic systems to operate within real institutions, markets, and governance environments.
