 "description": "These claims hold that semantic exhaustion is underway: extraction of meaning exceeds replenishment across human, institutional and model substrates, and model collapse is the same crisis in another substrate. They set out measures such as the Semantic Debt Ratio, Exhaustion Proximity Index and Regeneration Capacity Assessment, and predict quality loss concentrated in high-Γ domains, platform capture of interpretive frameworks and burnout tracking semantic rent. The Anthropological Limit, the Pergamon Press theses, the Sorting Function and the commons-depletion thresholds supply historical theses on enclosure of the knowledge commons and on non-predatory mediation at scale.",
