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

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 stabili...
