Mixed-register system

Different object classes may mix linguistic, numerical and emblematic registers rather than one uniform script.

Research compilation

Research compilation from a published ICIT-style digitization — not a complete or licensed photographic corpus

Fit on current defined metric: under investigation.

A cautious working frame, not a decipherment.

Assumptions

  • Seals, tablets and pottery need not encode the same kind of message

Strengths

  • Matches object-type variation
  • Avoids a single-key fantasy

Limitations

  • Easy to make unfalsifiable if every exception is a new register
