HYP-004 · Stroke-group sign 342 is a numeral-like candidate, not a proven numeral
Research compilation
Research compilation from a published ICIT-style digitization — not a complete or licensed photographic corpus
Functional hypothesis
Sign 342 (stacked strokes) is treated as a numeral/classifier candidate because of its graphic series, not because it has been read.
Graphic systematicity plus occasional co-occurrence with storage-related object types in the demo set.

E(H) = 0.25S + 0.20R + 0.15D + 0.15X + 0.15C + 0.10V. The score does not confirm a translation.
Alternatives
- Tally marks without language
- Decorative hatching
- A syllabic sign that happens to look like strokes
Falsification test
A verified metrological association should predict measured object classes better than a motif permutation.
Limitations
Numeral candidate ≠ translation of surrounding signs.
