用数学模型统一表达词语意义与上下文互动,提升语义推理稳定性。

Semantic Field Theory: Historical Origin, Higher-Order Interaction, and Stabilized Semantic Inference

  • 将词汇意义建模为可变形的语义场,通过高阶交互项捕捉复杂语义关系。
  • 证明乘积型场交互有明确中心、精度和兼容性,支持可计算分析。
  • 提出能量最小化机制实现稳定语义推断,适合语言模型研究者参考。

语义场理论(SFT)从对语言游戏强反形式主义解读的哲学批判演进而来,现被构想为一种用于词汇语义、高阶组合及稳定解释的计算模型类。本文重构其发展脉络,并为其提供更清晰的数学基础,以在计算语言学与表征学习中独立评估。核心主张是:可通过词义表示为语义场、上下文对场的形变、对词元子集定义的交互项,以及由语义能量动力学调控的稳定化过程,建模可处理的语言组织层级。本文贡献五个形式元素:第一,将语义场模型定义为五元组——语义空间、词汇场提升、上下文形变映射、交互复形与解释泛函;第二,证明乘积封闭性定理,显示多重场交互具有明确中心、精度与兼容因子;第三,通过子集格上的莫比乌斯反演,推广三词问题,分离任意阶不可约语义交互;第四,引入阶谱,量化各交互阶解释的场质量比例;第五,将稳定解释形式化为句子能量泛函的最小化,并给出存在性、下降性与稳定性条件。一个小型示例展示如何用高斯语义场表示三词夏日短语,已在Python中实现并以流程图总结。该成果非自然语言意义的完整理论,也不替代社会、语用或规范性的语言解释。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Semantic Field Theory (SFT) has developed from a philosophical critique of strong anti-formalist readings of language games into a proposed computational model class for lexical semantics, higher order composition, and stabilized interpretation. This paper reconstructs that evolution and gives SFT a sharper mathematical core suitable for independent evaluation in computational linguistics and representation learning. The central proposal is that a tractable level of linguistic organization can be modeled through lexical representations expressed as semantic fields, through contextual deformation of those fields, through interaction terms defined over subsets of tokens, and through stabilization governed by semantic energy dynamics. The paper contributes five formal elements. First, it defines a semantic field model as a tuple consisting of a semantic space, a lexical field lifting, a contextual deformation map, an interaction complex, and an interpretation functional. Second, it proves a Gaussian product closure result showing that multiplicative field interactions have explicit centers, precisions, and compatibility factors. Third, it generalizes the three-word problem by using Mobius inversion on the subset lattice to isolate irreducible semantic interactions of arbitrary order. Fourth, it introduces an order spectrum that measures how much field mass is explained at each interaction order. Fifth, it formulates stabilized interpretation as minimization of an energy functional associated with the sentence and gives existence, descent, and stability conditions. A small worked example shows how a three-word summer day triple can be represented by Gaussian semantic fields, implemented in Python, and summarized by a flow diagram. The result is not a completed theory of natural language meaning and does not replace social, pragmatic, or normative accounts of language.
