Interaction stability in CAS-6 represents a major advancement in semantic memory modeling for AI systems, enabling the retention and evolution of meaning across extended discourses. By integrating semantic resonance with memory-like persistence, CAS-6 offers a more sophisticated framework for AI models to understand and generate language that reflects human-like continuity and complexity. This enhancement is crucial for tasks that require long-term coherence, cultural awareness, and interpretive depth.
3.7 Interaction Output: From Literal to Metaphoric --- The Final Meaning Construction
The final stage of the CAS-6 framework concerns the interpretative outcome of all previous dimensions of word interaction: Interaction Output. This dimension represents how a system synthesizes denotative, connotative, and contextual factors to generate an interpretable semantic construction, ranging from literal to figurative, poetic, or even culturally bound meanings.
In contrast to most current LLMs, which often default to surface-level, literal interpretations due to their token-based predictive architecture, CAS-6 proposes a layered interactional process in which meaning is emergent and interpretable through a spectrum of possible outputs.
A. A Continuum of Meaning: Literal -- Connotative -- Metaphoric -- Artistic
We conceptualize the output of interaction as existing on a semantic continuum, where:
Literal Output arises when word combinations follow canonical grammatical and lexical rules with direct referents (e.g., "tears from eyes" physiological event).
Connotative Output introduces emotional, cultural, or idiomatic shading (e.g., "eyes full of tears" sadness, empathy).
Metaphoric Output involves mappings across conceptual domains, often requiring a high level of contextual awareness (e.g., "crocodile tears" false empathy).
Artistic/Poetic Output emerges when word interactions defy direct referents and lean into ambiguity, symbolism, or aesthetic effect (e.g., "the crocodile's opera in the rain" layered emotional or cultural resonance).
Each form of output emerges from dynamic interactions across the other CAS-6 dimensions---particularly interaction level, probability, weight, and stability.
B. Formalizing Meaning Construction
We define Interaction Output (O...) as a functional result of the other five CAS-6 variables:
Oijk...=(L,P,W,S,T)O... = \Phi(L, P, W, S, T)
