Interpretation as Linear Transformation: A Cognitive-Geometric Model of Belief and Meaning
This paper introduces a novel cognitive-geometric framework where agents' beliefs and motivations are represented as vectors in personalized 'value spaces'. Communication is modeled as linear transformations between these spaces. A key insight is that understanding and influence depend on 'structural compatibility'—whether a belief vector avoids the 'null spaces' of interpretation maps, rather than merely shared information. This framework explains phenomena like miscommunication, belief distortion, leadership (as 'representational reachability'), and cultural innovation, offering a unified approach to belief dynamics in heterogeneous cognitive systems.

Geometric Ontology of Beliefs
The model formalizes beliefs as 'abstract beings'—structured vectors in an agent's personalized value space. This allows for analysis of belief survivability, distortion, and 'death' based on geometric properties.
Interpretation as Linear Transformation
Communication involves linear interpretation maps between agents' value spaces. Intelligibility requires beliefs to avoid the null spaces of these maps.

No-Null-Space Leadership
Leadership is reframed from persuasion to 'structural reachability'. A leader influences an agent only if their belief survives all interpretation transformations along the path to the follower (i.e., does not fall into a null space).
Convex-Hull Leadership & Innovation
Leaders can introduce genuinely novel conceptual directions (cultural innovation) if their valuation lies outside the convex hull of the group's existing value structure, expanding the group's conceptual boundaries rather than merely interpolating within them.
Case Study: Cultural Innovation
A visionary leader introduces a new ideal (e.g., 'sustainable growth') that existing group valuations cannot express as a combination of their current beliefs. As followers adopt this new 'abstract being', their collective 'value space' expands. This is not mere persuasion but a geometric restructuring of what is conceivable and valued by the group, leading to transformative cultural or organizational shifts. The concept of 'Convex-Hull Leadership' explains this phenomenon, where influence stems from expanding the boundaries of collective thought.
Motivational Alignment & Emotion
Adopting a belief alters an agent's motivational gradient, leading to directional alignment. The model also explains emotions like rage and sadness based on the agent's 'acceptance coordinate' towards unattainable goals.
