Abstract: This report represents an integrated, extended (≈40,000-word) exposition of the VerbaTerra Project — an interdisciplinary study exploring language as a cultural algorithm. It combines cultural linguistics, computational anthropology, and heuristic modelling through the vSION Engine. The research quantifies how cultural structures (ritual, trade, symbolism, hierarchy) shape linguistic complexity, cognition, and resilience. It establishes that language and culture form a recursive adaptive system — a living computation of meaning. AI-assisted computation was used for simulation and validation, but all theoretical formulations and causal logic were developed independently by the author.
