RC-001: Does 033–705 form a recurring, directional compound in Mohenjo-daro inscriptions?

Research compilation

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

Structural finding

Illustrative workflow example. Requires verified corpus import for historical conclusions. In the demonstration set, 033 is followed by 705 more often than the reverse.

Background

  • This case is a demonstration of the platform's research-case format.
  • It uses the seeded demonstration dataset, not a licensed photographic corpus.

Dataset

  • Demonstration dataset version demo-2026.09.
  • Inclusion: complete and partial inscriptions as generated; duplicate groups are flagged.
  • Exclusion: no claimed museum objects; no unlicensed images.

Method

  • Define the pattern in analytical order.
  • Count raw, independent-object and duplicate-reduced frequencies.
  • Compare with a length-preserving shuffle null model.
  • Report limitations and interpretation boundaries in public view.

Results

  • See the live analysis modules for counts derived from the current demo seed.
  • Directional retention and PMI are descriptive until a verified import is locked.

Negative controls

  • A motif-only explanation is not supported as a translation.
  • The demo generator itself planted some structure; that is disclosed.

Limitations

  • Demo data cannot support historical conclusions.
  • Sample sizes for smaller sites are too small for percentage claims.

Interpretation boundary

Do not read this case as a decipherment or as a statement about a real excavated pair until verified plates replace the demo.
