Saunt Halikaarn

First Appearance and Context

An in‑world dictionary entry that discusses Saunt Proc and the faculties at the Concent of Saunt Muncoster identifies Saunt Halikaarn as the patron associated with the Semantic line. In Apert conversations at the concent, Halikaarn is also invoked as a progenitor for a pure‑theorics stance; see below. Another dictionary entry defines "Semantic Faculties" as factions claiming descent from Halikaarn and holding that symbols can bear actual semantic content, contrasting them with "Syntactic Faculties." It traces that idea to earlier figures such as Protas and Hylaea.

Roles/Actions and Affiliations

• Patron figure for Semantic Faculty of the Concent of Saunt Muncoster.
• Cited as lineage source for "Semantic Faculties" in general usage (groups that emphasize semantic content of symbols), often contrasted with "Syntactic Faculties."
• Named lineage source for the Edharian Order, whose members on the crag are described as Edharians.
• In popular accounts, “Halikaarnian traditions” are alleged to underlie the legendary Incanter; this is presented in‑text as iconography rather than documented doctrine. See Halikaarnian Traditions for how such stories are framed.
• In intra‑math discourse, some avout shorthand a “Procian versus Halikaarnian” dispute; in that framing, Halikaarn is grouped with Evenedric and Saunt Edhar as exemplars of a pure‑theorics posture, contrasted with positions labeled Procians.

Relationships

• Regularly contrasted with Saunt Proc and the lineage tied to Syntactic Faculty of the Concent of Saunt Muncoster, reflecting a semantics–syntax divide described in sources available so far.

Doctrines and Positions

• Associated with the view that thoughts have real semantic content (Aboutness) over and above the ones and zeroes of a syndev, and that symbols can genuinely be about things; some speakers connect this to minds perceiving ideal forms in the Hylaean Theoric World.

Descriptions/Characteristics
