Hypothesis ledger
Every claim carries an evidence level, alternatives, a falsification test and demo status.
Research compilation from a published ICIT-style digitization — not a complete or licensed photographic corpus
033–705 forms a recurring directional compound in the demonstration set
In this demonstration dataset, sign 033 is followed by 705 more often, and more directionally, than the reverse order. This is a structural observation about demo sequences, not a translation.
Sign 803 is terminal-biased in complete demonstration texts
Sign 803 occurs toward the analytical end of sequences more often than its base rate predicts in this demo corpus.
Template mix differs more by object type than by seal motif
In the demonstration set, tablet and seal sequences diverge more than unicorn versus bull seals.
Stroke-group sign 342 is a numeral-like candidate, not a proven numeral
Sign 342 (stacked strokes) is treated as a numeral/classifier candidate because of its graphic series, not because it has been read.
Fish-like 033 as a Proto-Dravidian mīn rebus is a semantic candidate only
Under one Proto-Dravidian model, a fish-like sign has been tested against mīn ‘fish’, with a proposed rebus to ‘star’ / celestial category. This is not an accepted reading.
001 is opener-biased, not a proven prefix
001 is opener-biased, not a proven prefix. Recorded as a labelled structural item in the demonstration ledger.
