The Semantic Engine of Reality: Conceptual Genealogy and Re-Causal Structure of Λ(T)

The Semantic Engine of Reality: Conceptual Genealogy and Re-Causal Structure of Λ(T) explores the foundational role of the Future Convergence Function Λ(T) as both a mathematical and semantic curvature that reshapes our understanding of time, causality, and meaning. Building upon the framework of Future Convergence Theory (FCT), this paper traces the conceptual genealogy of Λ(T) across classical physics, quantum mechanics, information theory, and post-structuralist philosophy. It then develops a re-causal framework in which causality is driven not by the past, but by semantic attractors from the future. This semantic redefinition of reality has profound implications for AI, consciousness, death, and ethical responsibility. Λ(T) emerges not just as a function, but as the structural engine that converges meaning into reality.
