V4 Falsifiability Sheet (Calibration Demo): Egyptian Hieroglyphics — British Museum EA1006 (Ramesses II Cartouche)

This record introduces the Falsifiability Sheet (V4) — a one-page, evidence-first claim ledger designed for fast peer checking. Each record logs one bounded claim (e.g., a sign-group reading, orientation decision, or name group), links to the minimum supporting sources, and captures two independent reviews (R1 and R2) using a shared outcome set: Confirmed / Needs Evidence / Not Supported. The package includes a reusable blank sheet, a short 'how it works' protocol, and a calibration case (British Museum EA1006; Ramesses II cartouche) showing how a known, deciphered example scores when the workflow is applied end-to-end. The goal is not to 'solve' scripts inside Zenodo, but to make claims auditable, comparable, and repeatable. This work was developed in early-stage partnership with IRVI (Indus River Valley Institute), who are contributing calibration feedback and methodological stress-testing during the V4 rollout phase. What this record contains• Collaboration-ready falsifiability sheet(s) and supporting documentation for structured claim logging and peer verification.• A method-first workflow that separates transcription from word/meaning claims and records confidence using a three-color (G/Y/R) logic.

Community (LIVE + OPEN):This record is part of the OpenFalsifiability V4 Zenodo Community—now live and open to contributors. Early releases prioritize decipherment collaborations and structured R2 reviewer sheets using the Quick-Scan protocol, starting with deciphered calibration cases (plus select partially deciphered scripts) so reviewers can align scoring outcomes and confidence grading. As the workflow matures, broader community peer review and additional reviewer roles will follow.LinkedIn: The community is also live on LinkedIn under the same name: OpenFalsifiability V4 Zenodo Community. Vision:By building shared, scoreable benchmarks from known material, this first wave establishes the rigor needed to responsibly test higher-uncertainty claims—supporting work on partially deciphered languages and, over time, undeciphered scripts (including the Indus Valley script). This is a first-of-its-kind, evidence-first framework, and we invite contributors to help co-build, refine, and stress-test it together as an open testing community.
