EMPIRICAL CONVERGENCE OF STRUCTURAL CAPACITIES IN THE ARCHITECTURAL–TEXTUAL COMPLEX OF THE TEMPLE OF THE INSCRIPTIONS
In a previous study [Yelistratov, 2026a], the pyramidal stratification of the glyphic corpus of the Central Tablet of the Temple of the Inscriptions (N = 140, d = 2) induced a set E of ten structural positions. The present work analyzes the internal structure of E: the differences between consecutive members reproduce the geometric parameters of the pyramidal model — row widths, layer areas, and the cumulative volume Tn = 4C(3, n+2). Markers M = {3, 23, 61} occupy positions 2, 5, 8 in E — an arithmetic progression with step 3. Computing Tn at these indices yields the structural capacities {16, 140, 480}. Two values are verified against objects of the architectural–textual complex that carry their own textual corpora: the flanking panels (240 + 240 = 480 = T8) and the sarcophagus unfolding of Pakal (10 + 6 = 16 = T2). The third value, T5 = 140, coincides with the capacity of the source corpus. The result demonstrates the internal self-consistency of the pyramidal stratification and the empirical convergence of the extracted abstraction with physical objects of the complex.
