I also get the sense that OP has not read enough general semantics to recognize that what seem like "edge cases" not covered by general semantics are actually touched upon frequently across the discipline's key people, at least (seemingly to me) hinted at in many cases if we're only considering Korzybski (e.g. structural differential / idea of layers of abstraction)... but I could be wrong.

Maybe OP is trying hard to express a not yet fully formed nuanced and new idea that was sort of at the subconscious level, and we are just struggling to understand.
