The Missing Semantic Layer for World Models — and the Denkraum of Bidirektionale Entitätsübergreifende Semantische Emergenz (NEOMANITAI Whitepaper 2026, v2.0)

Abstract. World models remain largely unidirectional, opaque and slowly updated. This whitepaper, dated 18 May 2026, describes the missing element as a shared, precisely named, bidirectionally operable and error-correcting semantic layer through which world models could become living, co-evolutionary systems - anchored in philosophy of language, embodied cognition and systems theory, with the Two-Frontiers Grounding Model and a documented observable seed kept strictly separate from a dated wager.
