Semantic Drift of ‘Minerality’ in Wine Epistemology — Knowledge-Graph Model of Memetic Mutation and Market Resonance 2026

Memetic Economy of Wine Knowledge

A nonlinear adaptive system where economic, linguistic, and empirical signals interact to form, mutate, and stabilize collective beliefs about wine.

Core Schema (Validation Layer)

  • Scientific Data: Objective but socially underweighted; forms latent truth substrate.
  • Economic Index: Behavioral proxy; strongest causal driver in market outcomes.

Contextual Modifiers (Interpretive Layer)

  • Discourse: Narrative propagation, linguistic contagion, and framing bias.
  • Sensory: Ephemeral human observation, modulated by discourse and authority systems.

Memetic Flow

  • Nodes: Region, Producer, Cuvée, Price Event, Discourse Fragment, Critic.
  • Edges: Mention, Quote, Algorithmic Boost, Share, Purchase.
  • Weights: Persistence and resonance of replication.
  • Mutations: Semantic drift (e.g., “minerality” → metaphor).
  • Attractors: Viral posts, authority figures, scarcity spikes.

System Type

The network is autopoietic: it reproduces its own epistemic state through repetition and market feedback. No single metric (reach, repetition, conversion, or semantic stability) defines value; only their interaction does.

Resonance Loops in the Memetic Economy of Wine

Visualization of nonlinear feedback between empirical data, economic behaviour, discourse, and sensory interpretation — illustrating how meaning and market value self-stabilize through repetition and resonance.

Legend: Arrow thickness ≈ feedback intensity. Loops indicate recursive reinforcement; thicker lines show dominant epistemic flows.

Semantic Mutation: The Case of “Minerality”

This model illustrates how the descriptor “minerality” mutates through cycles of discourse, authority, and economy, eventually detaching from its original empirical meaning.
