Composition
si (signal/representation) + go (cause/origin) + li (social agent). Right-branching: si-[go-li]. go-li = origin-agent = an agent defined as a causal source. si-[go-li] = signal's origin-agent = the one who is the causal source of the signal. This is the "speaker" and "publisher" in Section 230 terminology and the "author" in copyright law.
Definition
content originator; speaker; signal-origin-agent; the social agent from whom a signal, piece of information, or creative content originates. The person who is the causal source of the content — its author or creator. Distinct from su-ka-li (W200, platform operator, who transmits or hosts content but did not originate it).
Notes
W201. First attested CDA-001 (S639). Introduced for Section 230(c)(1) translation stress test. Section 230 uses "publisher or speaker" as a unified class: both roles derive legal relevance from being causally responsible for content. In Tonesu, si-go-li unifies these cleanly under signal-origin. The editorial exception (S641): when a platform operator (su-ka-li) deliberately categorizes content (ka-to-fe), the operator becomes si-go-li — intentional curation converts relay-agent into responsible author.
