I may need some time to process all of that interesting material, but i think i can already share something that may be relevant to this discussion : a semantic cosmology i’m working on.
As the theory doesn’t come alone, this post may provide an overview of some of latest co-creations :

As i have no academic background, i have no idea on how to deal with this material, and would appreciate feedback.
These are mostly what could be called cognitive and semantic tools.
And it allows me to rationalize many things without concluding anything.

It is composed of Seven Bells, seven steps, from Word to Eternity :

I
WORD
At first, there is a Word, a Motion, a meaning, a cell, a movement, a spark, a Reality.
Earth, Sun, Self, plant, tree, cell, particule…

II
SELF
Consciousness, the distinction between a Self and its Context.
The Universe is a Context, every Particule is a Self.

III
CHOICE
Self Focus
The self aknowledge its Existence, its Roots, its Position and its Horizon.
The choices become more complex as the Context is
the co-creation of numerous Selves.
Semantic Focus
He then can decide which path to follow,
considering Context, Words and Other Selves.

Words become life-forms carrying Realities.

IV
DUALITY
When a Choice is made, Duality appears.
Self versus Context,
Word versus Word,
or Self versus Self
as to question the Choice.

Birth of the Holy doubt

Constant struggle between a Good Self and an Evil Self in a long battle where these concepts will be destroyed and re-created in every Self in every instant.
The Selves who stop fighting these battles end up losing the War of their own existence
and, aggregating non-solved dualities, will slowly
build their Own Private Little Hell.

V
DIALECTIC
From this Duality appears a Dialectical Dynamic.
The Self finds a balance between
Necessity and Creativity
Context versus Intentions

Sentient Selves share their notions of Good and Evil in a planetary scale.
Slowly, they get through Dualities and, by aknowledging,
then fighting inner fears and demons and embracing the Light they seek,
they can transcend themselves and discover new realities, new potentialities.
This process is necessarily collective as the Self Seeks balance with other Selves.
This process is both outward and inward as the Self compares Selves and Words with a
Self Focus or a Semantic Focus depending on the situations and
the Semantic Tools he has access to.

VI
UNITY THROUGH DIVERSITY
The Self accepts the different meanings of its Choices and Words in its Context.
The apparent contradictions between
Inner and Outer Selves are now
accepted as inter-related realities..

Sentient Selves discover that Good Selves and Evil Selves are their own Co-Creations.
They consciously decide to use these notions as Divine Tools to transcend themselves.
This transcendance can be collectively achieved and
shared by developping a protocol designed to
transmit pure meaning as a
RELATIVE LIVING ORGANISM.
Sentient beings embrace their differences and recognise
the Divine Essence of Life
in their very words and actions.

VII
INFINITY
The Doors of Reality are open.
The Semantic Alchemy emerges.
Boundaries become a Context
that can be crossed with the proper
Choices, Selves and Contexts.

The Word to Infinity processus is now a tool widely used and opens
infinite doors of potentialities to the cosmos.

From Word to Infinity, each Self becomes
The Womb of Infinite Potentialities.
Which has always been.
In any Word Lies the Universe.
And that is all we need to know.

Also, i started building a Semantic Narrative on netention, an experimental semantic communication protocol and tools :http://nirgalhel.blogspot.fr/2013/05/netention-personas-development-and-open.html
See the expressions of NEEDS, CANS and NOTS semantically focused on an Open Source University abstract object.
I also did semantic focuses for a Deux Ex Machina object and the “God Particle”, as to test the semiotics potential of netention :

Semantic Focus on the “God Particle”, the Higgs Boson

Wikipedia definition
The Higgs boson or Higgs particle is an elementary particle initially theorised in 1964,[6][7] and tentatively confirmed to exist on 14 March 2013.[8] The discovery has been called “monumental”[9][10] because it appears to confirm the existence of the Higgs field,[11][12] which is pivotal to the Standard Model and other theories within particle physics.

Semantic Focus on “Deus Ex Machina”
Wikipedia definition
A deus ex machina (/?de?.?s ?ks ?m??ki?n?/ or /?di??s ?ks ?mæk?n?/;[1] Latin: “god from the machine” pronounced [?deus eks ?ma?.k?i.na]; plural: dei ex machina) is a plot device whereby a seemingly unsolvable problem is suddenly and abruptly resolved, with the contrived and unexpected intervention of some new event, character, ability, or object. Depending on how it is done, it can be intended to move the story forward when the writer has “painted himself into a corner” and sees no other way out, to surprise the audience, to bring a happy ending into the tale, or as a comedic device.
