Chapter 61: Translation and Universality

Translation is a functor between linguistic categories that preserves kernel content. This chapter develops the structural theory of translation: what is preserved, what is lost, and why universal bridgeability holds for kernel invariants but not for carrier-level accretions. The untranslatable is not a deficiency of translation but a structural fact about local sections that do not extend globally. A translation schema formalizes the decode–encode pathway through the subsymbolic kernel.
