INDUS BLOCKED
Toolkitting for ancient script research.
A shared scoring rig for ancient-script methods · PyPI gnosis-morph-bench v0.1.0 · github.com/Zer0pa/Morph-Bench
Every researcher studying ancient-script morphology rebuilds the same machinery from scratch: scoring routes, permutation nulls, stability sweeps. The result lives in one paper, then the next lab starts again from nothing.
Morph-Bench is the shared rig that ends that cycle — it scores routes, preserves null results, runs stability checks, and records replay so the next study begins from a measured floor. Today 37 tests pass and runs are byte-identical across macOS and Linux. Live Indus Phase 4 rerun is blocked on Phase 3c manifest access.
01 · THE GAPNO MEASURE, NO BASELINE
Every ancient-script researcher rebuilds the same baseline; the measure is never kept.
02 · MARKETSADJACENT FORECASTS
Every field on this list has ancient-script work underway. None of it starts from a measured baseline.
03 · VALUE
$8.1B
Cultural-heritage digitization in 2030; research infrastructure for review and reuse, not commercial sale.
04 · INSIGHT
Measure the method once. the next researcher starts from here.
05.1 · CURRENT TECHREBUILT EVERY TIME
Ancient-script research has no standard scoring rig. Each lab writes its own metric, picks its own null, records its own result — then the work moves on. The next researcher starts again from zero.
05.2 · OUR TECHTHE BASELINE, KEPT
Morph-Bench installs from PyPI and gives a researcher a working starting point: a route scorer, a permutation null, a five-mode stability battery, and replayable records that are byte-identical across macOS and Linux Python 3.11. 37 tests pass on a fresh clone. 9 of 9 adapter clauses hold.

Today's measurement is the rig itself: pytest on a fresh Python 3.11 clone, adapter contract coverage, forbidden-pattern lint, and byte-equal replay across macOS and Linux. Live Indus Phase 4 rerun and Cuneiform adapter are not in scope yet.

08.1 · WHAT REPLAYS EXACTLYFIXTURE RECORDS ONLY
Smoke and replay outputs are byte-identical across documented macOS and Linux Python 3.11 environments, verified end-to-end through fresh-clone install. Replay records and SHA-256 reference-freeze helpers ship as part of the public package.
That does not prove deterministic live Indus replay from repo custody, undisclosed heavy data, or cultural-heritage imagery — and it does not prove any text recovery. The unit of byte-exactness is benchmark-fixture replay, not domain-result reproduction.
08.2 · HONEST BLOCKER
Honest Blocker ·
Live Indus Phase 4 rerun is blocked on Phase 3c manifest access. Heavy-data and image-bearing release policy is open. Cuneiform adapter is deferred to a separate contract once the first live Indus replay lands. PyPI: gnosis-morph-bench==0.1.0; no 0.1.1 until a receipt. Non-claims: no text recovery, no source identification, no data permission, no hosted service.

One baseline for the field the next study can inherit it.
09.1 · THE AMBITION
An ancient-script field that loses its scoring rig with every postdoc loses a generation of measurement. Morph-Bench is the rig the next lab installs instead of writing — a public floor for method comparison that outlives the researcher who first ran it.
09.2 · WHAT WORKS NOW
Public harness works today: 37 tests pass, adapter contract holds, fixture replay is byte-stable, public PyPI release available.
09.3 · WHAT'S STILL OPEN
Still blocked: live Indus rerun; heavy-data policy and Cuneiform adapter remain open.
09.4 · LABS · NEAR-TERM (12–24 MO)
One installable baseline, not three rebuilds
A second lab studying Indus morphology can install the same scoring rig their predecessor used, run it on their candidate method, and compare results that have a common floor. The conversation moves from "whose code" to "whose finding".
09.5 · REVIEW · NEAR-TERM (12–24 MO)
Reviewers see the null beside the result
A journal reviewer reading a morphology paper can ask for the permutation null and the stability sweep alongside the headline number, knowing both were produced by a public harness, not the author's private script. Skeptical review gets cheaper.
09.6 · MUSEUMS · MID-TERM (24–48 MO)
Heritage archives keep the method, not just the picture
When a museum funds a script-morphology study, the resulting paper can ship with a replayable run — same scoring rig, same null check, same stability battery — so the archive's investment outlives the postdoc who did the work. The method becomes part of the collection.
09.7 · CROSS-SCRIPT · MID-TERM (24–48 MO)
Indus and Cuneiform share a floor
Once a Cuneiform scorer sits beside the Indus one, two distant script communities can argue about results on the same scoring floor. Disagreement narrows to the data and the model — the scoring rig stays the same, so the argument finally becomes worth having.
09.8 · CONVENTION · PARADIGM (48 MO+)
A standard the next generation inherits
A graduate student starting in ancient-script morphology in 2030 finds the same baseline their advisor used in 2026 — installable, documented, with null results preserved. The field stops losing a generation of measurement every time the tools rot. One kept harness, many researchers.
