Key Points

To explore how technical neologisms create the phenomena they aim to describe and how observation confirms these terms.
Developed a framework incorporating significant philosophical works
Analyzed the interconnection between naming and recursion
Ensured compliance with ISO standards
Proposed a unified framework for understanding terminological recursion
Highlighted the retrospective validation of technical terms through observation
Synthesized ideas from various theories of performativity

Abstract

Priority registration for a framework addressing Performative Naming and Generative Recursion within the AUGMANITAI framework (Ehstand 2025–2026). Author ORCID: 0009-0006-3773-7796. The framework designates the systematic study of how technical neologisms generate the very phenomena they purport to describe — and how subsequent observation retroactively validates the term. Synthesizes Austin (1962), Hacking's looping effects (1995/1999), Callon/MacKenzie's economic performativity, and Butler's gender performativity (1990) into a unified framework for terminological recursion. Full definitions maintained in the unpublished AUGMANITAI Compendium. ISO 704 / ISO 1087 / ISO 30042 compliant.
