Node
Meaning as negotiated sign
The theory node that gives Meaning Negotiation its name: meanings are produced through inference, negotiation, and asymmetries of power.
Theory anchor
This node is the public-source footing for Meaning Negotiation. It keeps the area name from becoming a nice floating phrase.
Short source anchor
Chart 02 verified Storm's language around voluntary sign meaning as partly produced by negotiation and asymmetries of power. Public wording should use this carefully and briefly.
Use in the seed
Prompts, AI outputs, curatorial decisions, refusals, hallucinations, viewer readings, and redaction choices all become part of one negotiated field. The useful question is: who gets to anchor meaning, who has to yield, and what evidence lets us see that process?
