The Archetypal Invariant of Cyclicity: Syntax, Myth and Gender as Topological Models of Continuity Based on the Example of Proto-Turkic Contacts and the Cult of Osiris

This interdisciplinary study investigates the universal archetypal principle of cyclicity, which manifests synchronously in historically and geographically unrelated systems. The research is grounded in a historical review that confirms the probable presence of Proto-Turkic groups within the polyethnic nomadic confederations of the Scythian-Siberian world in the Near East (7th-4th centuries BCE). Consequently, a hypothesis is advanced about potential channels for the transmission of deep, structural-topological models, moving beyond mere superficial lexical patterns (cf. “Өсіріс” in Kazakh - ‘cultivation’).The central focus of the analysis is the structural isomorphism of three distinct phenomena: the syntactic structure of the clitic “sw” in Late Egyptian, the mythological narrative of “death and rebirth” in the Osiris myth, and the social institution of the nomadic Turks (Kazakhs) - the clan system “Zheti Ata” (Seven Forefathers). The study analyzes these three systems as implementations of a single invariant - the principle of “reflexivity” and “closure.” This invariant is modeled using the topological figure of a torus (T²), where the topological rupture, represented as “death,” functions not as a destructive force but as a constitutive element that ensures the system’s integrity and continuity. Thus, the subject’s position in the mythological narrative, syntax, and social organization of the clan emerges not merely as a linguistic phenomenon but as a fundamental code for organizing the spatiality of being, constructing a unified complex of “topological grammar.” The methodology of “cultural topology” enables the revelation of this deep kinship, demonstrating how culture encodes universal archetypes within its multi-level texts.
