The role of ambisyllabic frame is well known to analysts who have scrutinized typological Berber forms [94], its representation of Berber geminate consonants evokes length as a criteria between phonetic implementation/acoustic realization and phonological representation. Moreover, copying and gestural sensitive reduplication would be strongly ruled by minimalist hypotheses of language evolution explained by new insights into internal merge/external merge relations: the mapping principle advocated by Safir [96] postulates that some of the syntactic specific and insensitive relations may have been designed as an evolutionary shift first, from the recursive embedding to interpretable structures generated by merge relations.

From our hypothesis, we postulate that copying and binding as two computation instructions may explain one of the aspects of the bio-syllable as represented representation: for syllable frame, combinatorics is a strong mathematical hypothesis related to neural representation of neuron firing pattern [97].

Neural encoding principle may have preceded on the evolutionary level the semiotic principle of sensory-motor symbolic on which the dynamic frame of the represented representation may have derived its interpretive states embedded hierarchically or modularly either in an evolutionary mathematical abstraction arising as a language faculty [1] (upper Paleolithic) or in a non-linguistic state of evolution [98].

The copying-binding relation could be treated as a case of combinatorial patterns parallel to clustering languages, both related by a principle enabling a mediation between morphological variation [99] and form-to-form structures encapsulating a copy of their own making—so to speak.

Furthermore, the gestural dimension within both dynamic/combinatorial aspects and its organic sensory-motor shape (articulatory/phonatory and respiratory systems) suggests a hypothetical mathematical topology of both formants/ resonance place and manner.

#### **Sequencing iconcity in Berber reduplication**

Before addressing our specific point, we would first expose the question of replication as model of reduplication from both biological/mathematical models and

deriving the computation of the form. Berber reduplication studies, draw on the morphological point of view [92] although pinpointing both copying and geminating processes. Furthermore, typological reduplication forms have been traced back to a well-established diachronic/synchronic structure [93]. We will focus on demonstrating how copying gestures on the gestural level and binding syllables by gemination (moraic representation) are the basis of iconic process mapping from onto meaning without recurring to morphological processes.

From Kolmogorov general complexity theorem

$$\begin{aligned} \mathbf{K}\_{\mathbf{t}\mathbf{u}}\left(\mathbf{w}\right) &= \min \mathbf{l}\left(\mathbf{p}\right) \\ \mathbf{P}: \mathbf{t}\_{\mathbf{u}}\left(\mathbf{p}\right) &= \mathbf{w} \end{aligned} \tag{1}$$

As we have discussed it before, structure-world is a de-squared Gestalt of both the semiotic principle and sensory-motor schemes of mapping world onto meaning and meaning onto world. Before presenting a language model of instantiation, we would like to sum up some of the principles and hypotheses of the bio-syllable as dynamic-static "nucleus" of the *represented representation*, as sensory-motor, social, psychological mediation between nature and culture that enables both form principle of language and the self-reflection loop of world-structure (including iconicity).

Beyond analysis/derivation as a part of deductive, generative or meta-linguistic rationality of a hypothetic object but also beyond the object in its real dimension (the existence of such linguistic object in our hypothesis), the syllable exemplifies a language model at the interface of evolutionary and sensory-motor semio-genesis

Where tu is any universal Turing machine or (cognitive-brain computation) that can both read the input and the description (the hypothetic device to read a string w in any articulatory domain), min being the minimal length or program that outputs w. Then (Ct is the hypothetic-analytical representation of w or the event of reduplication on both lexicon/phonetic dimensions). We obtain [101]:

$$\mathbf{K\_{E}}\left(\mathbf{w}\right) = \mathbf{K\_{tu}}\left(\mathbf{W}\right) + \mathbf{C\_{t}} \tag{2}$$

This probability would be topologically calculated as an integral function whose limits are to be defined on time limits (phasing limits) �∞/+∞:

$$\int\_{-\infty}^{+\infty} \text{Pi}\,\left(\mathbf{t}\right) \mathbf{dt} = \mathbf{q} \mathbf{i} \tag{3}$$

Being qi < 1 the condition under which a reduplication is not possible.
