  1. Source update

    Working structures for all local groups

    A richer layer connects 183 page-specific groups on six pages into 135 short records. The remaining 510 local groups now have lower-confidence structural defaults: 501 component readings and nine section markers across ten pages. These are creative, page-bound proposals; the 4,576 running-group readings are unchanged. No word or sentence is confirmed.

  2. Presentation

    Raw groups open their proposed readings

    Hover, tap, or focus a raw group to see how the model composes it and what it proposes in context. The copied text always stays visible beside the proposal.

    GDT451 context check

    This 26-page snapshot made immediate context the final safety check while retaining the existing proposed readings.

  2. Source update

    Each of the 22 selected folios has its own page, with the scan, raw transcription, and proposed structures linked together.

  5. Presentation

    Pass 1010 f82 English experiment

    A trial plain-English reading of f82 was removed because later source revisions no longer supported its components and grouping.

  6. Presentation

    Writer’s guide learning path

    The guide introduces the proposed writing system in four steps, followed by a searchable component reference.

  7. Presentation

    Group explanations on transcription pages

    Selecting a raw group opens its proposed parts and meanings directly beneath the line.

  8. Source update

    Pass 1003 transfers the model to four fresh pages

    Four pages and 657 raw groups were added. The test did not establish a reusable sign meaning or confirmed plaintext.

  9. Source update

    Pass 1002 separates repeated proposals from page context

    This pass distinguishes proposed component meanings that recur across pages from interpretations that depend on nearby drawings.

  10. Source update
