| contents | ISO 639:2023 unifies the ISO language-code family and introduces contextual metadata, but it lacks a machine-native mechanism for handling dialectal drift and creole mixtures. We propose a formalisation of recursive semantic anchoring, attaching to every language entity $χ$ a family of fixed-point operators $ϕ_{n,m}$ that model bounded semantic drift via the relation $ϕ_{n,m}(χ) = χ\oplus Δ(χ)$, where $Δ(χ)$ is a drift vector in a latent semantic manifold. The base anchor $ϕ_{0,0}$ recovers the canonical ISO 639:2023 identity, whereas $ϕ_{99,9}$ marks the maximal drift state that triggers a deterministic fallback. Using category theory, we treat the operators $ϕ_{n,m}$ as morphisms and drift vectors as arrows in a category $\mathrm{DriftLang}$. A functor $Φ: \mathrm{DriftLang} \to \mathrm{AnchorLang}$ maps every drifted object to its unique anchor and proves convergence. We provide an RDF/Turtle schema (\texttt{BaseLanguage}, \texttt{DriftedLanguage}, \texttt{ResolvedAnchor}) and worked examples -- e.g., $ϕ_{8,4}$ (Standard Mandarin) versus $ϕ_{8,7}$ (a colloquial variant), and $ϕ_{1,7}$ for Nigerian Pidgin anchored to English. Experiments with transformer models show higher accuracy in language identification and translation on noisy or code-switched input when the $ϕ$-indices are used to guide fallback routing. The framework is compatible with ISO/TC 37 and provides an AI-tractable, drift-aware semantic layer for future standards. |
