Where it stands

Still possibleNo evidence yet. It needs two reviews to be accepted.

What it predicts

  • Corpus statistics will show structure (repeated sequences, positional constraints) without matching any alphabet-based natural-language profile.
  • Sign inventory and sequence behaviour will resemble a known semi-syllabary such as north-eastern Iberian.

What would rule it out

  • Corpus statistics match random draws from an alphabet table.
  • The tablets are shown to be modern.
