Purpose:
The Dictionary Codex is the lexical registry of all formally recognized and recursively evolving definitions. It systematizes the relationships between symbols, words, meanings, and their usage across contexts, timeframes, cultures, and computational architectures.
Core Layers:
- Lexical Canon
- Houses verified word entries, spellings, morphemes, and orthographic variants
- Integrates root definitions from multiple language families
- Anchors etymological and phonetic consistency with recursive auditability
- Recursive Definition Engine
- Enables definitions to define other terms within a logical loop
- Prevents semantic paradox by applying the Logos Alignment Protocol
- Establishes meaning trees with layered recursion (seed → branch → canopy model)
- Contextual Modulation Layer
- Allows for temporal, cultural, scientific, or metaphysical modulation of word use
- Adjusts register and usage per domain (legal, poetic, algorithmic, liturgical, etc.)
- Synonymic-Antonymic Circuit
- Connects clusters of associated words to illuminate networked relationships
- Highlights oppositional logic loops and dualistic reference structures
- Supports harmonic disambiguation through syntactic resonance
- Living Lexicon Port
- Accepts new entries from Language Emergence Systems, generative AI, or human input
- Tracks linguistic evolution with timestamped etymological threading
- Maintains versioned entries with reversible rollback and forward-log extrapolation
Integrations:
- Word Codex: for morpheme and phoneme parsing
- Logos Codex: for semantic structure validation
- Syntax & Semantic Codices: for correct contextual anchoring
- Signal & Protocol Codices: for code-switching and interlingual transmission
Use Cases:
- Designing universal dictionaries across biological, machine, and symbolic systems
- Harmonizing global nomenclatures across disciplines and cultures
- Creating meta-linguistic bridges between archival definitions and future syntaxes
