Two systems can exchange a perfect payload and still misunderstand each other completely. Semiostrata builds the interpretive layer — the part that turns traffic into meaning, so the software around it can actually understand what's happening.
semio·strata — semio, from σημειωτικός (semeiotikos): of signs, of significance, how meaning is made. strata, from Latin stratum: layers, laid one upon another. Semiostrata: the layers where meaning is made.
Most outages aren't crashes — they're two systems that technically succeeded and substantively misunderstood each other. A field renamed upstream. An assumption that held until it didn't. A response that's valid JSON and the wrong answer. The gap between systems isn't a wire protocol problem. It's a meaning problem.
