A Phonological Plausibility Framework for Evaluating Unknown or Ambiguous Symbol Strings , Zenodo
Published on: Feb 01, 2026
This note proposes a neutral, falsification-oriented framework for evaluating how plausibly a given string of symbols could correspond to spoken language systems at the level of language families. Rather than attempting decipherment or semantic interpretation, the framework assesses phonological compatibility: the degree to which a symbol string can be accommodated by known phonological constraints with minimal distortion. The method is intended as an auxiliary tool for hypothesis testing in historical linguistics, undeciphered script studies, and comparative phonology.
A Constraint-Based Probe for Exploring Phonological Sound-Space Without Decipherment , Zenodo
Published on: Feb 05, 2026
This note describes an auxiliary, exploratory extension to a previously proposed phonological plausibility framework for evaluating unknown or ambiguous symbol strings. The extension introduces a phonological probe that generates broad sound-category constraints for structurally plausible symbol strings, while explicitly preventing phoneme assignment, lexical identification, or semantic interpretation. The probe operates by conditioning sound-category generation on phonological profiles, enforcing conservative phonotactic filters, and applying entropy-based failure detection to prevent overfitting. The method is falsification-oriented: its primary function is to rule out unsafe or unjustified sound hypotheses rather than to propose readings. Failure cases are treated as informative outcomes. This work is intended as a methodological demonstration for researchers in historical linguistics, undeciphered script studies, and comparative phonology, and makes no claims about any specific script or language. It extends the phonological plausibility framework described in Basu, A. (2026). A Phonological Plausibility Framework for Evaluating Unknown or Ambiguous Symbol Strings.

Method for extracting the click sequence from the UI source code and reusing for documentation , IBM
Published on: Jul 05, 2012
A disclosure for a method that pulls the UI text from product code and puts it automatically in the help content, while making it contextually correct. The disclosed method consists of traversing the source code in the UI mockup designer software to determine the click sequence. The determined click sequence is then referenced in the help document. Thus, all instances in the help document where these UI controls are mentioned are instances of auto-generated text, where the text in the help document is pulled (auto-generated) from the click sequence that is determined methodically by traversing the source code. The determined click sequences are identified by unique IDs.
