What makes you think that "valuable" is better than "older/newer"?

Quote:The other issue I have is that the text seems to play tricks as I unfold the basic grammar; like when I discovered direction words like "middel/topp/bottom" etc.

Same question for any "discovered" word: how do you know any of them is correct?

If you blindly trust your model to deliver accurate translations, have you previously tested it on texts with a known meaning, as a control experiment? Another control experiment would be to input the same data (VM pages) in a different order: would your model output a different translation?
When I started my project back in September 2024 I had absolutely no clue what this language was. I was looking at 57v for two weeks and I thought that the glyphs looked so nice that it must be a real language, if u know what I mean. 

So the first thing I did was to startup SketchUp/3d software and analyse 57r in 3d. That gave little mening. Next I picked up a book that I had been reading lately about machine learning. I thought maybe coding worked better? So I started to give each word a code starting with w0001. I started looking at pictures and shortly I found to pictures with same words. Then I got an idea that the meaning must be like a "description" word, not names etc. The first word was "connecting", like in the upper left corner of 67v with the picture of three faces connected with a line. After that with this system thinking it just expanded. And with my system I can also identified words in the same sub category without having to look at a picture. What I'm saying is that this system allows human intuition to replace missing pictures.

The control part of the grammar should be solved when building sentences. If sentences produce bad grammar some of this can be solved within category rules. And if category rules don't work then we will know that the model doesn't work in the future.

The point of publishing a work this in unfinished stage is also that, if everything goes well, people can see how the system unfolded in the future. Perhaps there is a academic value to play with open hands?
