This paper develops a model-theoretic framework for verifying context-conditioned language-model behavior by replacing benchmark labels with finite semantic certificates. The first problem is finite determinacy: when do examples in a context force the answer to a query without changing model parameters? In finite-field linear task families, we prove an exact row-space criterion, compute the residual hypothesis count, derive full and query-local identification curves, and show that extracting a smallest forcing subcontext is NP-complete even for binary outputs. The second problem is threshold emergence: when does an apparent benchmark jump reflect a semantic transition rather than a discontinuity of the scoring map? We prove an anti-mirage theorem separating thresholded metrics from semantic confidence and give a rate-sensitive crossing bound for latent commitments becoming visible above threshold. The common semantic object is a confidence functional on definable events. We show that it is a Boolean probability measure, equivalently a Keisler measure on the relevant type space, whose measure-one formulas form a proper filter and whose Stone-space representation is invariant under definitional expansion. The resulting calculus provides finite context certificates, pair-separator hitting sets, query teaching dimension, prompt-preservation criteria, and scale-limit witnesses. Exact-arithmetic ancillary scripts reproduce the finite-field and threshold calculations and generate the data used by the figures.
