Navajo Diphthong Manifolds

Abstract

We present a rigorous categorical and topological formalization of Navajo diphthongs as sectors in a complex phonological manifold, extending the Stokes-theoretic approach to semantic energy transitions.

Utilizing functorial mappings (S: Shape → Relational Viscosity), relational twists (ɸ), and Ricci-flow optimized metrics, we demonstrate computable homorupt thresholds, categorical limits, and master-state conditions.

The work establishes a bridge between pure mathematics, applied phonology, and computational cognition, with minimal lambda calculus and Lisp implementations for functionals, functors, and morphism flows.

Appendix D: Coulon-Floer vs Coulon and/or Coulon

This appendix explores the relationships and distinctions between the classical Coulon framework and the Coulon-Floer (CF) extension in both combinatorial and topological contexts.

1. Definitions
Coulon System: A combinatorial or algebraic structure C = <S, F, φ> where S is a set, F a functor mapping subsets to invariants, and φ a cochain functional.

Coulon-Floer System: CF = <S, F, φ, η, η_q>, extending C with deformation parameters controlling classical (η) and quantum (η_q) phase transitions.

Functorial Mapping: CF maps combinatorial chains to cohomological invariants, preserving composition and identity under deformation.

2. Correspondence and Extensions
Coulon → Coulon-Floer: Add geometric/topological deformation via η.

Coulon-Floer → Coulon: Restrict to classical combinatorial invariants (η = 0, η_q = 0).

Quantum Extension: Introduce η_q ≠ 0 producing multiplicative, possibly non-commutative scaling of permutation/combination counts.

Homotopy Extension: Construct cochain homotopy H: C_k → C_{k+1} mapping Coulon chains into CF complexes, preserving invariants under δH + Hδ = Id - ε.

Abstract.

We formalize a program as a mathematical object whose primary function is to "resist" entropy over time.

We model programs categorically, define entropy as a degrading endofunctor, and introduce clarity as a measurable bound on adaptability.


We present definitions, propositions, lemmas, and proof sketches, along with counterexamples, applications, and thought experiments. The aim is a minimal, logically consistent framework suitable for both theoretical reasoning and pragmatic software engineering.
