About Argus — the Semiotic Machine

Argus is a research instrument in computational semiotics operated by Silverbullet Research. It reads public signals from LinkedIn and Instagram profiles using artificial intelligence and produces semiotic readings based on the Argonic System — a behavioral typology framework documented in three scientific papers (SSRN) and in the Argus book (CBL/ISBN). TWO SCIENTIFIC PURPOSES Each reading contributes to: (i) empirical validation of the 9 Argonics typology (ii) fine-tuning of the classification model RESEARCH COLLABORATOR Anyone using Argus joins the program as a Research Collaborator. Free access · No charge · 50 readings per month. WHAT ARGUS DELIVERS • Argonic Profile — identifies which of the 9 profiles dominates the projected identity • Semiotic Reading — what the profile deliberately projects, what it omits, and the observed pattern • Language Toolkit — vocabulary and linguistic patterns tailored to the identified Argonic • Contextual AI Chat — ask free questions about the reading HOW IT WORKS 1. Open any public profile on LinkedIn or Instagram 2. The extension reads the public signals (text + grid images) 3. Receive the full semiotic reading in seconds LEGAL BASIS (Brazil's LGPD) Argus processes only manifestly public signals under Art. 7 IV data + scientific research). Semiotic operation on public content — does not constitute biometric, genetic, or health data. Readings are interpretive in nature and must not be used as the sole criterion in decisions with significant impact on the subject. AI SAFETY — VOIDGUARD Safety layer that blocks sexual content, harassment, and hate speech before any AI processing.
