Self-Organizing Language

arXiv:2506.23293v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We introduce a novel paradigm of emergent local memory. It is a continuous-learning completely-parallel content-addressable memory encoding global order. It demonstrates how local constraints on uncoordinated learning can produce topologically protected memories realizing emergent symbolic order. It is therefore a neuro-symbolic bridge. It further has the ability to produce human language without data, by exploiting its own self-organizing dynamics. It teaches us that words arise as a side-effect of emergent symbolic order, and that human language patterns at all structural levels reflect a universal mechanism of word formation (which is subregular). This work answers essential questions about the existence \& origin of all the human language data.
