Gnosis Indus Atlas

Anchor application and evidence repo for the Indus lane. Useful now, improving without overclaim.

What This Is

Indus-Valley is a non-decipherment Gnosis lane: conditional k=70 catalogue, search-without-decode runtime, and rights gates explicit.

Gnosis applied-research repo for the Indus-script lane. It packages the carried-forward evidence chain around the Indus morphological catalogue (admitted at k=70 with a stability caveat), the Phase 5 falsification work (linguistic structure confirmed, substrate identification not), the Paper 1 / Paper 2 verdict stack, and a search-without-decode application surface implemented in this repo as the first runtime slice. It is not a decipherment repo, not a generic search product, and not the portfolio's lead thesis.

Strongest current evidence surface: Phase 4 admits a conditional 412-sign / 70-cluster catalogue over 179 inscriptions with NMI 0.5793 against ICIT Sets and sigma 5.65. Track C then demonstrates search-without-decode over cluster sequences with 5.89x catalogue compression and 0.0451 ms max query latency. Proof paths: authority/review_pack/phase4_governing_verdict.md, authority/review_pack/indus_catalogue_summary.md, and authority/review_pack/search_demo_summary.md.

Headline metric: pytest -q → 14 passed (≈0.03 s local, ≈0.3 s on RunPod from fresh clone). The clean-room search-without-decode runtime (src/gnosis_indus/search_surface/) reproduces 6 authority-doc query records on the demo fixture (artifacts/phase4/indus_catalogue_demo_fixture.json), with sequence_search median latency well under the authority-doc 100 ms gate (authority/review_pack/search_demo_summary.md). Per-phase verifications: .gpd/phases/0{1,2,3}-*/VERIFICATION.md — all PASS, 10/10 confidence.

Honest blocker: Image-bearing sign rights remain BLOCKED_RIGHTS per DATA_POLICY.md; the full k=70 catalogue (412 signs / 70 clusters / 179 inscriptions) stays FETCH_EXTERNAL. The bundled fixture is small and authority-anchored to authority/review_pack/search_demo_summary.md.

Honest Blocker

Image rights and full-catalogue redistribution gates remain open. Sign images stay BLOCKED_RIGHTS, and the full k=70 catalogue stays FETCH_EXTERNAL.

What We Prove

• The lane is migrated out of the original monorepo as a standalone, truthful scaffold without losing the Phase 4 stability caveat or the Phase 5 non-decipherment posture.
• A clean-room search-without-decode runtime (src/gnosis_indus/search_surface/) anchored to authority/review_pack/search_demo_summary.md reproduces six authority-doc query records on a small authority-anchored demo fixture, with sequence_search median latency well under the authority-doc 100 ms gate.
• A clean-machine replay path exists: any Python 3.11 host can reproduce the test surface via pip install -e ".[test]" && pytest.
• Off-repo custody (private HF dataset + model repos) is provisioned for future heavy-artifact promotion under DATA_POLICY.md classification, with the register documented in HF_CUSTODY_REGISTER.md.

What We Don't Claim

• We do not claim decipherment of the Indus script.
• We do not claim proven substrate identification.
• We do not claim all rights gates are cleared. Image rights for sign-bearing releases remain open; this is an open lab, not a finished product.
• We do not claim unrestricted public redistribution rights for any image-bearing or rights-gated corpus referenced in the original monorepo work; sign images stay BLOCKED_RIGHTS in DATA_POLICY.md.
• We do not claim the bundled fixture is the real full catalogue. The full k=70 catalogue (412 signs, 70 clusters, 179 inscriptions) stays FETCH_EXTERNAL per DATA_POLICY.md.

Traditional-Knowledge Acknowledgment

This repository works with material originating from the Indus Valley Civilization, including the undeciphered Indus script. Zer0pa claims no proprietary right over the Indus script, its imagery, or the archaeological record.

Zer0pa's work is the computational analysis, lattice methods, and falsification discipline applied to that material. This repository does not claim a definitive decipherment of any Indus sign or sequence.

Good-faith inquiries from identified communities, governmental antiquity authorities, or institutional bodies may be sent to architects@zer0pa.ai.

Quick Start

Reproduce the Phase 02 stronger smoke path on any clean Python 3.11 host:

git clone https://github.com/Zer0pa/Indus-Valley.git gnosis-indus
cd gnosis-indus
python3.11 -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e ".[test,numerics]"
pytest -q

Expected: 14 passed. The pytest suite reproduces the authority-doc query records from authority/review_pack/search_demo_summary.md against the bundled artifacts/phase4/indus_catalogue_demo_fixture.json. The fixture is small and authority-anchored; the real full catalogue stays FETCH_EXTERNAL per DATA_POLICY.md. The Phase 4 stability caveat (k=70 conditional) remains visible in the package and fixture surfaces.

Current Gaps

• Image-rights and provenance for any public image-bearing release remain unresolved; sign images stay BLOCKED_RIGHTS in DATA_POLICY.md.
• License text has landed as Apache-2.0 for code and CC-BY-4.0 for docs. Public visibility remains separate and is blocked on rights, provenance, and release wording review.
• Phase 02 landed only the search-without-decode slice. The Phase 4 catalogue and Phase 5 falsification slices are sequenced as later extraction waves (MIGRATION_PLAN.md, SOURCE_BOUNDARY.md).
• Full k=70 catalogue (412 signs, 70 clusters, 179 inscriptions) is not vendored; the bundled demo fixture reproduces only what the authority doc enumerates.
• AUDITOR_PLAYBOOK.md is pre-Phase-02 vintage. Functionally superseded by the README Quick Start and the Phase 03 verification reports (.gpd/phases/03-truth-preserving-packaging/VERIFICATION.md), but the playbook itself awaits a maintenance refresh.

Upcoming Workstreams

Active Engineering

• AUDITOR_PLAYBOOK.md maintenance refresh — currently self-flagged "pre-Phase-02 vintage"; should be updated to reference the Phase 02 / 03 verification reports and the Quick Start replay path. (AUDITOR_PLAYBOOK.md)
• Phase 4 catalogue extraction wave — extract first clean runtime slice into src/gnosis_indus/catalogue/ per _internal/MIGRATION_PLAN.md wave 2.
• Phase 5 falsification extraction wave — extract first clean runtime slice into src/gnosis_indus/falsification/ per _internal/MIGRATION_PLAN.md wave 3.

Operations / External Dependency

• Image-rights and provenance review for any image-bearing public release; sign images remain BLOCKED_RIGHTS in DATA_POLICY.md until a rights review is completed by the relevant authority.
• Full k=70 catalogue redistribution rights review — the 412-sign / 70-cluster / 179-inscription catalogue stays FETCH_EXTERNAL until cleared.

Research-Deferred — Investigation Underway

(none currently; Phase 5 posture — linguistic structure confirmed, substrate identification not — is stable and not under active re-investigation.)

Zero-Base Scientific Thinking — GPD Research and Planning Pending

(none currently.)
