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.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Настоящее междисциплинарное исследование обращено к универсальному архетипическому принципу цикличности, который проявляется синхронно в исторически и географически не связанных системах. Исследование основано на историческом обзоре, подтверждающем вероятное присутствие прототюркских групп в составе полиэтничных кочевых объединений скифо-сибирского мира на Ближнем Востоке (VII-IV вв. до н.э.). В этой связи выдвигается гипотеза о возможных каналах трансляции глубинных, структурно-топологических моделей, а не только поверхностных лексических паттернов ср. «Өсіріс» в каз. яз. - ‘взращивание’. Центральным объектом анализа становится структурный изоморфизм трех разноуровневых феноменов: синтаксической структуры клитика «sw» в позднеегипетском языке, мифологического нарратива «смерти и возрождения» в мифе об Осирисе и социального института кочевых тюрков (казахов) - родовой системы «Жетіата». Автором проанализированы эти три системы как реализации единого инварианта - принципа «возвратности» и «замыкания». Данный инвариант моделируется с помощью топологической фигуры тора (T²), где топологический разрыв, репрезентируемый как «смерть», выступает не разрушительным, а конституирующим элементом, обеспечивающим целостность и непрерывность системы. Позиция субъекта в мифологическом нарративе, синтаксисе и социальной организации рода, таким образом, предстает не только как лингвистический феномен, но и как фундаментальный код организации пространственности бытия, выстраивающий «топологическую грамматику» в единый комплекс. Методология «топологии культуры» позволяет выявить это глубинное родство, демонстрируя, как культура кодирует универсальные архетипы в разноуровневых текстах.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Proto-Turks</kwd><kwd>Scythian-Siberian world</kwd><kwd>syntax</kwd><kwd>Late Egyptian language</kwd><kwd>clitic</kwd><kwd>Osiris</kwd><kwd>Zheti Ata</kwd><kwd>archetype</kwd><kwd>cyclicity</kwd><kwd>topology</kwd><kwd>torus</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>прототюрки</kwd><kwd>скифо-сибирский мир</kwd><kwd>синтаксис</kwd><kwd>позднеегипетский язык</kwd><kwd>клитик</kwd><kwd>Осирис</kwd><kwd>Жеті Ата</kwd><kwd>родовая система</kwd><kwd>архетип</kwd><kwd>цикличность</kwd><kwd>топология</kwd><kwd>тор</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta><fn-group/></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Herodotus. 1972.
