This work develops Anti-Semantics, an original philosophical framework that dismantles the structural, semiotic, and institutional conditions that allow meaning to arise, persist, and reassert itself. Anti-Semantics argues that meaning is neither a property of subjects nor a function of signification but a contingent effect produced within a structure that continually forces reconnection. The theory proceeds by exposing the three structural conditions of semantic action—arbitrariness, shareability, and contextuality—and showing that these conditions do not originate in thought or intentionality but in pre-structural configurations that precede both language and cognition. Through a systematic critique of immediacy, sensory grounding, Umwelt theory, phenomenological presence, and structuralist semantics, the work demonstrates that all “givenness” is a retroactive construction. What remains after this dismantling is not nihilism but what this work names the pre-semantic substrate: the materials, tensions, and ruptures that become visible only when meaning collapses. Anti-Semantics thus repositions the site of philosophy in the gap between the collapse of meaning and the emergence of structure, describing the dynamics of rupture (semantic rupture), the failure of reattachment, and the structural violence inherent in semantic systems. The project culminates in a new ontological orientation: meaning is not an inherent layer of the world but a historically and institutionally enforced effect. The task of philosophy, therefore, is not to interpret meaning but to expose the mechanisms that bind us to it. Anti-Semantics marks the termination of semantic compulsion and opens toward a non-semantic field from which a different configuration of thought may emerge.

This paper presents Kasei-Theory as a non-modal structural system. It provides a structural orientation of the Kasei-Theory corpus. It does not function as an explanatory summary, derivation, justification, foundation, completion, or totalization of the system. Readers are given a map of the system's structural positions and the constraints under which each position remains readable without conversion into familiar explanatory categories such as ontology, causality, subjectivity, relation, meaning, process, or completion. This orientation is addressed to readers who wish to enter the corpus without presupposing that readability must resolve into explanation, ground, or totality. It does not attempt to prove or justify this orientation; it makes the corpus navigable. Kasei-Theory I fixes readable configuration and structural maintainability. The Bridge Layer fixes peripheral fixation and Kagen. Kasei-Theory II fixes local readability conditions. The Post-II Threshold fixes askability, object, reference, and there-is without returning to ontology. Kasei-Theory III fixes Ka decomposition. Kasei-Theory IV fixes Fuka, Contact, Dec-phase, and Closure. Supplementary texts fix residual structural positions such as why without reason. This paper does not complete Kasei-Theory and does not establish explanatory closure. It organizes only the readability of the system as a non-modal structural arrangement.
