Semantic Expression System (SES)
A protocol-neutral architecture for separating interface meaning from interface expression.
Enables a single stable semantic interface definition to produce radically different rendered interfaces without duplicating logic or fragmenting behavior.
Theoretical Substrate
SES addresses the chronic breakdown between design systems, UI components, and domain models by strictly separating semantic intent from visual manifestation.
A semantic interface describes roles, relationships, importance, and operations without dictating pixels or markup. Distinct projection contracts translate that model into target media (web, canvas, CLI, or spatial).
Accompanied by full TypeScript schemas, validation rules, responsive invariants, and a conformance test corpus.
Primary Research Questions
- How can interface meaning remain stable across radically differing physical display form factors?
- What projection invariants prevent design tokens from distorting functional accessibility semantics?
- How do responsive contracts prevent rendering branches from leaking into domain business logic?
Primary Claims & Invariants
Protocol-neutral semantic interface specification with strict projection contracts.
Negative results ledger detailing disproven token inheritance architectures.

Projection Equivalence in Decoupled Semantic Interfaces
