Abstract

I present a computational framework for analyzing ancient Egyptian texts through phonemic structure. The vorticular wheel maps 16 phonemes 1:1 to deities with masculine/feminine equilibrium verbs. Combined with a 3-axis spine (ontogenic, phylogenic, cosmogenic), this yields 408 semantic relations: T(16) = 136 × 3. The pyramidal architecture assigns five positions per phoneme, enabling trigonal decode across three modes. Validated against 12,773 TLA sentences with statistically significant phoneme-semantic correlations. Translates 1,316 Pyramid Text sentences (~2300 BCE) in both directions. Performance: 18ms full corpus on MacBook Air M4.
