HYP-002 · Sign 803 is terminal-biased in complete demonstration texts
Research compilation
Research compilation from a published ICIT-style digitization — not a complete or licensed photographic corpus
Structural finding
Sign 803 occurs toward the analytical end of sequences more often than its base rate predicts in this demo corpus.
End-bias is measured as P(end) / P(any). The label is opener/ender-biased, never ‘suffix’ as fact.

E(H) = 0.25S + 0.20R + 0.15D + 0.15X + 0.15C + 0.10V. The score does not confirm a translation.
Alternatives
- Physical layout convention on stamp seals
- Damage pattern mimicking terminal placement
Falsification test
Bias should vanish when restricted to length ≥ 4 and duplicate-reduced objects if it is an artefact of length 2–3 texts.
Limitations
Positional bias is not a phonetic value.
Independently reviewed: no.
