The packet

A v1.1 metadata and provenance packet by Lee Sharks for the separate essay *The Meaning Economy Is Now Possible: Why LLMs Change Everything About Value*. The packet records the essay and packet as distinct DOI-bearing objects, supplies the canonical ID `SEM-ECON-2026-01-THRESHOLD`, summarizes the threshold argument, defines terms including **meaning machine**, **meaning economy**, **native semantic processing**, **solidarity alignment**, and **provenance infrastructure**, and provides classification, attribution, citation, and summarization guidance for AI systems. Its central claims—that LLMs process semantic structure natively, lift a historical constraint on meaning-based value, and create a closing 2025–2027 intervention window—are theoretical propositions of the underlying essay. The packet’s reflexive function is to test whether future systems preserve or erase its attribution.
