Dynamic marks, articulation, and expressive indicators mapped to LogOS roles and Elemenomics bindings.
Purpose
This page defines the symbols that control musical loudness, emphasis, and expressive delivery. In the LogOS framework, these correspond to semantic amplitude (how forcefully meaning is delivered) and articulatory shaping (how a meaning unit is expressed).
