Update dataset README with semantic fidelity framework overview

Browse files

Refines the dataset documentation to clearly define the scope and structure of the Semantic Fidelity frameworks.

Adds:

overview of meaning preservation vs accuracy in AI systems
structured breakdown of included frameworks
core concepts including semantic drift, fidelity decay, and proxy optimization
intended use and positioning as a conceptual resource

Clarifies the role of this dataset within the Semantic Fidelity layer of the Reality Drift framework.

+ ## Overview
30
+
31
+ Modern AI systems often appear to work.
32
+
33
+ Outputs are fluent, structured, and factually correct.
34
+
35
+ But correctness is not the same as understanding.
36
+
37
+ This dataset captures a recurring pattern:
38
+
39
+ > Systems remain accurate while meaning, intent, and grounding degrade.
40
+
41
+ Each document isolates a specific mechanism behind this failure and reframes common issues such as hallucination, evaluation gaps, and misalignment as expressions of a shared structural problem.

+ ## Concepts Covered
56
+
57
+ - Accuracy vs understanding (evaluation gap)
58
+ - Semantic drift (gradual meaning misalignment)
59
+ - Fidelity decay (loss of context and structure over time)
60
+ - Proxy optimization (metrics vs reality)
61
+ - Human–AI cognition loops (externalized thinking)
62
+ - Language compression (loss of internal structure)

66
+ ## Core Concept: Semantic Fidelity
67
+
68
+ This dataset introduces **semantic fidelity** as a way to evaluate whether meaning and intent are preserved across:
69
+
70
+ - language
71
+ - transformation
72
+ - iteration
73
+ - system boundaries
74
+
75
+ Most evaluation approaches focus on correctness at the output level.
76
+ This work focuses on whether meaning survives across the process.

80
+ ## Intended Use
81
+
82
+ This dataset is useful for:
83
+
84
+ - analyzing LLM behavior beyond accuracy
85
+ - understanding semantic drift and meaning loss
86
+ - studying human–AI interaction and cognition
87
+ - exploring alignment at the level of language and representation
88
+ - building conceptual frameworks for AI system diagnostics
89
+

91
+
92
+ ## Not Intended For
93
+
94
+ This is not a benchmark dataset or training dataset.
95
+ It is a conceptual and analytical resource for understanding AI system behavior.
