Session 5: Re-analysis from the transliteration; book v1.0

The project was found to hold no machine-readable text: the spring findings were a language model's descriptions of images. Every claim was tested against the ZL3b, IT2a and CD2a transliterations, and none of the lexical readings exists in the manuscript. The earlier draft was archived. Structure, statistics, slot grammar, line effects, the A/B difference, labels, repetition and one-to-one decipherment were rebuilt from the data, with controls, and the book was written again from them: Reading Without a Key, v1.0.
