Abstract. The article proposes a conceptual bridge between Noam Chomsky’s theory of generative grammar, Edmund Husserl’s phenomenology, Immanuel Kant’s transcendental philosophy, and the principles of cluster-microservice architecture (CMA). The study does not claim to explain the primary origin of language but focuses on its functional evolution and co-evolution with social practices. It is shown that the recursive capacity, which emerged as an adaptation for internal modeling, was co-opted (via the mechanism of exaptation) for the external coordination of social microservices. The concept of «architectural invariants» (discretization, recursion, reflexivity) is introduced as ontogenetically a priori conditions for the possibility of linguistic experience, which co-evolve with the empirical diversity of microservice clusters. Functional analogues of object-oriented programming properties — encapsulation, polymorphism, inheritance, and abstraction — are analyzed as applied to linguistic structures. Based on CMA, a unique falsifiable consequence is formulated: in communities with high exogamy, languages develop analytical means of role explication to compensate for the deficit of tacit background knowledge. The conclusion explicates the unavoidable limitations of the model, including the scale paradox and the archaeological counterexample of Acheulean culture, and outlines prospects for empirical testing and agent-based modeling. The article is addressed to philosophers, linguists, cognitive scientists, and specialists in complex systems theory.
