Abstract

Pre-registered results for Phase 22.D. The range-non-overlap criterion was to be tested on a genuinely unseen hold-out: Linear B sub-corpora from Thebes, Mycenae and Tiryns, harvested from DAMOS only after the pre-registration was published. The harvest yielded 617 tablets and 766 word tokens under the same L2_strict filter used for Knossos and Pylos, but fragmented across 27 series, of which only 3 reached the pre-declared minimum of 40 types. The pre-declared power gate required 5. No word-length class reached the 20-type floor, so the stratified primary test never ran. Verdict: TEST-VOID. With 3 observations the 99% prediction interval lower bound is -43.1 percent, an impossible value for a rate, which is precisely what the power gate exists to catch. The suspension of the Linear A / Linear B morphological gap imposed by Phase 22.B therefore becomes indefinite: the gap is real and is not a word-length artefact, but whether it demonstrates non-Mycenaean-Greekness remains untested. Descriptive figures are reported without verdict force. The only remaining route is the full DAMOS Knossos corpus rather than the def_strict subset. TERMINOLOGY: this project does not claim that Linear A "is not Greek"; the tested and rejected hypothesis is Mycenaean Greek. Pre-registration: doi 10.5281/zenodo.22749112.
