A research framework for mapping how meaning is discovered, created, transformed, represented, and evaluated across sound, language, writing, culture, space, image, and time.一个研究意义如何在声音、语言、文字、文化、空间、图像与时间之中被发现、创造、转换、表达和评估的框架。
Meaning and structure can survive language change.意义和结构可以穿越语言的变化而继续存在。
1. Three Core Mechanisms三大核心机制
The framework distinguishes three operations. They may interact in one case, but they should not be confused.本框架区分三种操作。它们可以在同一案例中互动，但不应彼此混淆。
1.1 Discovery发现
Discovery identifies relations that may already exist in linguistic, cognitive, historical, cultural, or symbolic data.“发现”识别语言、认知、历史、文化或符号资料中可能已经存在的关系。
Initial Consonant Semantic Field首辅音语义场
Test whether recurring initial consonants correlate with semantic tendencies across controlled datasets.在受控资料集中检验反复出现的首辅音是否与某些语义倾向相关。
Cross-Language Phonetic Mapping跨语言语音映射
Compare sound patterns across languages while controlling for genealogy, borrowing, chance, and reconstruction depth.比较不同语言的声音模式，同时控制谱系、借用、巧合与重构深度。
Vowel Mapping元音映射
Investigate whether vowel features participate in stable or context-dependent sound–meaning associations.研究元音特征是否参与稳定或依赖语境的音义关联。
Chinese Phonetic Components汉字声符
Study phonetic series together with historical readings, semantic radicals, graph development, and character families.结合历史读音、意符、字形演变与汉字家族研究声符系列。
Historical / Etymological Evidence历史／词源证据
Trace attested forms, regular sound change, borrowing paths, written records, and scholarly reconstructions.追踪有文献证明的形式、规律音变、借词路径、文字记录与学术重构。
Cognitive / Spatial Schema认知／空间图式
Map embodied and spatial structures such as container, path, center–periphery, up–down, and near–far.映射容器、路径、中心—边缘、上下、远近等具身与空间结构。
Cross-Cultural Mapping跨文化映射
Compare cultural models without assuming that resemblance proves contact or common origin.比较文化模型，但不假定相似就能证明接触或共同起源。
1.2 Creation创造
Creation produces new relations through literature, poetry, metaphor, story, naming, and culture. These are Created Semantic Relations: their value does not depend on being historical cognates.“创造”通过文学、诗歌、隐喻、故事、命名与文化生成新的关系。这些属于被创造的语义关系；其价值并不依赖它们是否为历史同源词。
Literature and poetry as semantic invention.文学与诗歌作为语义发明。
Metaphor and story as relation-building systems.隐喻与故事作为关系建构系统。
Naming and culture as generators of shared meaning.命名与文化作为共同意义的生成器。
1.3 Transformation转换
Transformation translates a structure from one representational domain into another and tests what is preserved, lost, or newly created.“转换”把结构从一种表达域转入另一种表达域，并检验其中哪些内容被保留、丢失或重新生成。
Concrete → Abstract具体 → 抽象
Abstract → Concrete抽象 → 具体
Motion → Geometry运动 → 几何
Concept → Symbol概念 → 符号
Concept → Character / Image概念 → 文字／图像
Sound → Shape声音 → 形状
Language → Gesture语言 → 手势
Transformation network: Language ↔ Character ↔ Symbol ↔ Geometry ↔ Image ↔ Motion转换网络：语言 ↔ 文字 ↔ 符号 ↔ 几何 ↔ 图像 ↔ 运动
2. Diachronic Cross-Language Mapping历时跨语言映射
Comparison must follow historical trajectories, not only present-day resemblance.比较必须追踪历史轨迹，而不能只看现代形式的相似。
Modern forms are only one layer of evidence; historical trajectories may reveal or dissolve apparent correspondences.现代形式只是证据的一层；历史轨迹可能揭示表面对应背后的关系，也可能消解这种对应。
3. Cultural Transmission Layer文化传播层
This layer asks what, if anything, moved between communities and through which medium.这一层追问：究竟有什么在群体之间传播，以及它通过什么媒介传播。
Lexical Transmission词汇传播
Words or morphemes move through contact and borrowing.词或语素通过接触与借用发生传播。
Semantic Transmission语义传播
Meanings, categories, or metaphors move even when the original sound does not.即使原有语音没有传播，意义、范畴或隐喻仍可能传播。
Structural Transmission结构传播
Grammatical, narrative, classificatory, or relational patterns move across systems.语法、叙事、分类或关系模式跨系统传播。
Symbolic Transmission符号传播
Signs, motifs, diagrams, or symbolic conventions move and change form.标记、母题、图式或符号惯例在传播中改变形式。
Independent Convergence独立趋同
Similar constraints or experiences produce similar solutions without transmission.相似的限制或经验在没有传播的情况下产生相似方案。
Relation Origin Test关系起源检验
Every proposed correspondence should be tested against competing explanations.每个被提出的对应关系都应接受相互竞争的解释检验。
Common Origin: descent from a shared historical source.共同起源：来自同一个历史来源的继承。
Diffusion: transfer through contact, trade, migration, institutions, or texts.传播：通过接触、贸易、迁徙、制度或文本发生转移。
Convergence: independent similarity shaped by shared cognitive, bodily, or environmental constraints.趋同：在共同认知、身体或环境限制下独立形成的相似。
Coincidence: similarity adequately explained by chance.巧合：可由偶然性充分解释的相似。
Unknown: current evidence cannot discriminate among the alternatives.未知：现有证据不足以区分不同解释。
Cultural Semantic Evolution文化语义演化
Cultural Semantic Evolution is a recognized mapping and research dimension for documenting how shared cultural forms may motivate, circulate, stabilize, or lexicalize meaning over time.“文化语义演化”是正式的映射与研究维度，用于记录共享文化形式如何随时间推动、传播、稳定意义，并可能使其词汇化。
Myth 神话
Literature 文学
Song 歌曲
Metaphor 隐喻
Repeated Usage 重复使用
Conventional Meaning 约定意义
Lexicalization 词汇化
Evidence boundary: cultural association can motivate or document semantic development, but it does not by itself establish historical etymology, linguistic descent, contact, or common origin.证据边界：文化关联可以推动或记录语义发展，但它本身不能确立历史词源、语言继承、接触关系或共同起源。
This module separates secure knowledge from Unilanguage research questions and from the rule governing interpretation.本模块将较稳固的知识、Unilanguage 的研究问题与解释规则分开。
Can homophones or near-homophones expose latent semantic networks within a language?同音或近音形式能否揭示一种语言内部潜在的语义网络？
Can phonetic components, dialects, and reconstructed readings reveal older organization hidden by modern characters?声符、方言与重构读音能否揭示被现代汉字遮蔽的早期组织？
Which sound–meaning patterns survive statistical, historical, and cross-linguistic controls?哪些音义模式能经受统计、历史和跨语言控制？
Layer 3 · Interpretive Principle第三层 · 解释原则
Homophony is evidence to investigate, not evidence to conclude.同音，是调查的入口，而不是结论。
Homophony or phonetic similarity cannot by itself prove common origin. It can only trigger investigation of historical pronunciation, dialects, phonetic components, semantic networks, regular sound correspondences, chronology, borrowing, and chance.同音或近音本身不能证明同源。它只能触发对古音、方言、声符、语义网络、规律音系对应、年代、借用与巧合的调查。
5. Script, Symbol, and Experimental Hypotheses文字、符号与实验假设
Symbol-Origin Hypothesis符号起源假说
Explore whether recurring symbolic forms may preserve spatial, embodied, technical, or cultural structures. This is an experimental or speculative research layer unless independently supported.探索反复出现的符号形式是否可能保存空间、具身、技术或文化结构。除非有独立证据支持，否则它属于实验或推测性研究层。
Script & Symbol Mapping文字与符号映射
Compare graphic form, writing function, sound value, meaning, gesture, geometry, and historical context without treating visual similarity as proof of relation.比较图形、书写功能、音值、意义、手势、几何和历史语境，但不把视觉相似当作关系证明。
Hypothesis Lab假说实验室
The Lab is the single registry for unconventional but testable proposals. It protects exploratory research by separating it from established conclusions and by giving every claim the same metadata and falsification requirements.假说实验室是非主流但可检验提案的统一登记处。它通过把探索性研究与已确立结论分开，并要求每项主张使用相同元数据和证伪条件，来保护这些研究的可讨论性。
Four Evidence Tracks四条证据轨道
Evidence Track 证据轨道
Primary Question 核心问题
Historical Relation 历史关系
Is there evidence of inheritance, borrowing, or documented transmission? 是否存在继承、借用或有记录传播的证据？

Does a sound–meaning association exceed chance under controlled comparison? 在受控比较中，音义关联是否显著超出偶然水平？
Cognitive Association 认知关联
Can embodiment, perception, or spatial schema explain the mapping? 具身、感知或空间图式能否解释这种映射？
Speculative Deep-History Hypothesis 推测性深层历史假说
What distant relation is proposed, and what evidence could distinguish it from convergence or chance? 所提出的远古关系是什么？什么证据能将它与趋同或巧合区分开？
