Black Heart Neology v0.3: A Speculative Framework for Meaning Boundaries, Pattern Selection, and Reality Construction

Experienced reality emerges through the interaction of embodied observers, biological constraints, and meaning-making processes, according to the speculative framework Black Heart Neology (BHN). The framework introduces conceptual tools such as Meaning Failure Points, Meaning Boundaries, Untranslatable Meaning Zones, Response Entropy and Interpretive Diversity, and the Attentional-Narrowing Bridge linking stress, attention, and meaning construction. BHN proposes that reality is neither passively perceived nor freely invented but constructed through pattern selection, meaning formation, and identity compression. The work is offered as a speculative research framework and experimental program in active development, not as an established scientific theory or a proven unified model of reality.

Abstract

Black Heart Neology (BHN) is a speculative interdisciplinary research framework that explores how embodied observers construct experienced reality through pattern selection, meaning formation, and identity compression. The framework introduces several original conceptual tools, including: • Meaning Failure Points • Meaning Boundaries • Untranslatable Meaning Zones • Response Entropy and Interpretive Diversity • The Attentional-Narrowing Bridge linking stress, attention, and meaning construction BHN proposes that reality is neither passively perceived nor freely invented. Instead, experienced reality emerges through the interaction of observers, biological constraints, and meaning-making processes. This document presents: • Formal definitions and axioms • Testable conjectures and falsifiable predictions • A proposed experimental protocol • A simulation-tested methodology for studying interpretive entropy under stress This work is offered as a speculative research framework and experimental program in active development. It is not presented as an established scientific theory, a replacement for existing theories of consciousness, or a proven unified model of reality. Researchers, collaborators, and critics are invited to replicate, test, refine, or falsify the proposed framework.
