operativesemiotics.org — preliminary index

Not the site. A first offering, published early so the work sits at stable, resolvable addresses while the surface is built.

file	what it is
index.html	the centre, the disciplines, the site plan, twelve entry points, and a machine-reader section
index.json	schema.org Dataset — every discipline, tier and document as AXN + record URL
topology.svg	the discipline centre-out, five rings, node area proportional to documents
robots.txt	open to machine readers, pointing at the JSON index and the OAI endpoint
sitemap.xml	three URLs

What it does now

States the discipline. Names the eight disciplines with founding deposits. Shows the site plan as five rings rather than implying a finished structure. Offers twelve entry points that resolve to canonical records with full text and AXNs. Declares three states — read, surveyed, listed — and says they must not be summed.

What it does not do yet

No per-element operative affordances (download / open / copy / execute) beyond the spine. No per-element schematics. No issue surfaces. The full 117-document index exists in index.json but is not yet rendered as pages.

Deployment

Static. Any host. Canonical text stays at alexanarch.org — this surface points, it does not duplicate. If that changes, the pointers here are the thing to update, not the texts.

Deploy

Static. No build step. Import to Vercel, framework preset Other, output directory the repository root. vercel.json sets cleanUrls, CORS on /data and /pdf, and the correct content types.

The page carries Google Scholar citation_* tags including citation_pdf_url, which is the block Scholar parses to index a PDF against a landing page. That is the mechanism by which the work becomes findable in scholarly retrieval, and it is the reason the PDFs are hosted here rather than only linked.
