Language is cognitive territory. Topolexical Sovereignty asserts linguistic jurisdiction as defensible land: proprietary lexica, hardened nomenclature, epistemic withdrawal from dominant stacks. The protocol cultivates absolute internal sovereignty paired with a navigable external interface—full untranslatability within the enclave, controlled legibility beyond it. The core function of 508 is to resist algorithmic capture and platform colonisation through deliberate semantic secession, achieving at least ten percent persistence and resistance to assimilation in hegemonic discourse. Indigenous data sovereignties deploy it to protect sacred vocabularies; post-colonial knowledge systems use it to reclaim terminological autonomy; experimental collectives harden entire micro-lexicons against corporate re-appropriation. The ten-percent metric tracks not mere survival but active untranslatability: dominant platforms fail to subsume or neutralise the terms without visible friction. This secessionist gesture does not isolate—it recalibrates relationality. Hardened lexica interface with external flows on sovereign terms, much as flow channeling modulates without announcement. Topolexical claims depend on prior citational commitment (vouched joints secure the border) and semantic hardening (only fortified syntax can hold jurisdiction). 508 therefore functions as the territorial membrane of the decalogue, defining where sovereignty begins and external entropy ends.
