The Indus Valley script is a dead writing system from ancient India, often called the “Everest” of undeciphered scripts. Echoes of the Script treats it as a living problem, not a museum piece.
Right now, the project centers on a new combination paper, “Next Phase: CL2 (Buffalo) as a Solved Glyph on a Neutral Ledger.” It brings two strands of my work into one testable unit:
• the ML Grasa Method for seal CL2 (buffalo), which fixes a phonetic line and tests a disciplined animal overlay in two positions without ever changing the glosses;
• a Neutral Falsifiability Ledger, a one-page, method-neutral sheet that logs metadata, lens, evidence mix, and peer-check outcomes (✓ / ✗ / →) with simple 0–10 scoring for clarity and replicability.
Together, CL2 becomes what I call a “solved glyph on a neutral ledger”: one transparent reading plus a reusable test bench. Anyone—scholars, students, or AI teams—can enter their own reading of CL2 on the same sheet, compare evidence line by line, and see exactly where interpretations agree or break.

What your support makes possible
• Finishing and sharing the CL2 “buffalo” case as an open, citable proof-of-concept.
• Expanding the neutral ledger so other seals—and eventually other dead scripts—can be logged the same way.
• Bringing Echoes of the Script pop-ups to libraries and community spaces, where families can try “live decoding” and see how a falsifiability ledger works in real time.
Key worksheets and concept papers for this project are archived as open-access records on Zenodo, including:

• Indus Script Falsifiability Sheet v2 (worksheet pack): https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17535134
Gifts through Fractured Atlas help cover focused research time, basic tools and printing, and modest living expenses so this work can remain independent, open-access, and publicly testable instead of locked behind paywalls or institutions.
Every contribution—large or small—helps keep this “living Rosetta Stone on a neutral ledger” active, visible, and evolving in public.
