Pan-Indus Macro-Syntax Explorer

Empirical structural sentence diagrams, full corpus transcription ledger (3,219 inscriptions), diachronic stratigraphy, and spatial archaeology respecting zero-decipherment discipline.

⚖️
Mathematical Decipherment Guardrail: The Shannon unicity distance for the Indus script is \(U_0 \approx 907.5\) tokens. With a maximum inscription length of \(L_{\max} = 13\) signs, phonetic substitution decipherment is mathematically impossible without an external bilingual Rosetta stone. This engine models the invariant macro-syntax and functional administrative grammar without linguistic speculation.
Class 0: Authority
Institutions, high offices, and guild heraldic titles (e.g. Spoked Wheel P378).
Class 1: Cadre
Administrative specifiers, occupational modifiers, and cadre markers.
Class 2: Commodity
Transactional objects, agricultural goods, and manufactured assets.
Class 3: Measure
Tall vertical stroke tallies, capacity vessel units, and volumetric counts.
Class 4: Terminal Sink
Consignment seals, verification stamps, and Terminal Jar Sinks (P324/P740).
Discovery: Late Mature Period 3C Syntactic Crystallization
Monte Carlo Permutation Proof (N=2,000) on Apple M3 · Trial pan-h14 · Δ = +3.18%, Z = +3.67σ, p = 0.000000

Stratigraphic analysis across the Harappa Archaeological Research Project (HARP) sequence reveals that Period 3C Incised Tablets (TAB:I) represent an intense grammatical canalization compared to Period 3B Molded Bas-Relief Tablets (TAB:B). Clausal compliance increases from 96.28% to 99.46% (only 3 irregular inscriptions out of 556), and conditional transition entropy drops by -0.1271 bits, reflecting rigid bureaucratic standardization prior to urban collapse.

Discovery: Extreme Intra-Urban Administrative Segregation
Permutation Proof (N=2,000) on Apple M3 · Trial pan-h15 · Disparity Δ = +79.97%, Z = +16.73σ, p = 0.000000

Analysis of excavated urban sectors establishes an insurmountable functional segregation between administrative and industrial spheres: Harappa Workmen Mound F is 90.58% tablets and only 5.07% unicorn seals, functioning as an industrial workshop zone. In contrast, Mohenjo-Daro VS Commercial Bazaar is 95.53% Unicorn stamp seals and only 10.61% tablets, representing the mercantile elite.
