Megalithic Geometry,
Tested Not Assumed
A single-file, offline workbench for Göbekli Tepe and the wider megalithic corpus. It separates measured data, established physics, model-based extrapolation and speculative hypotheses so that one layer can never masquerade as another.
The Problem
Pattern-Hunting Without Controls Proves Nothing
Coincidence Looks Like Design
Without randomized null models, a striking numerical pattern cannot be distinguished from chance.
Uncertainty Is Ignored
Coordinates from plans carry error; analyses that treat them as exact overstate their conclusions.
Layers Get Mixed
Measured facts, physics proxies and esoteric hypotheses are often blended in a single narrative.
The Solution
A Falsifiable Pipeline, End to End
Sixteen computational workspaces plus theory and usage guides, all sharing one coordinate dataset and its stated uncertainty.
Geometry & Graph Spectra
Dimensionless order diagnostics, angular spectra, and Laplacian eigenmodes with spectral gap, degeneracy and entropy measures.
Wave & Field Proxies
Scalar scattering for acoustics with frequency sweeps, elastic and seismic screening, reciprocal-space structure factors and a geoelectric resistor network.
Thom Metrology & Geometry
Metrology quantization tests, circles, flattened circles, eggs and ellipses, an egg calculator and curated Thom reference sites.
Thom Astronomy
Horizon, solar and lunar observatory reductions, lunar standstill targets and a 16-division solar calendar reconstruction.
Lithic Atlas & Multiphysics
A cross-continental material atlas with site dossiers, a material-mechanism matrix and a lithic multiphysics lab.
Nulls, Uncertainty & Evidence
Seeded null-model engine, coordinate-uncertainty propagation, an evidence ladder and hypothesis registry, source audit and methods export.
Architecture
A Pre-Registered Style of Workflow
Freeze the Data
Fix a coordinate dataset and its uncertainty; import survey or photogrammetry tables when available.
Freeze the Parameters
Set graph, acoustic and seismic parameters before looking at significance, and choose one primary statistic.
Run the Null Model
Compare the observed statistic with seeded randomizations that preserve each pillar’s radial distance.
Report Everything
Export the session, coordinates and a methods report, covering all tested parameter ranges, not only the strongest result.
Data Tier & Precision Boundary
Public, survey-grade per-pillar coordinates for Enclosures B–D are not openly published. The embedded default is a literature-constrained plan reconstruction and must not be represented as a total-station survey; import authoritative coordinates and the whole pipeline switches to them. The acoustic and elastic modules are physics proxies, and the Grant digital-root layer is explicitly a hypothesis layer.
Transparency
Scope & Falsifiability
Rigorous Versus Proxy
Distances, eigendecomposition, structure factors and Monte-Carlo summaries are deterministic mathematics; the physics modules are first-order proxies for choosing what to test in a full BEM, FDTD or FEM model.
Uncertainty Is Not the Null
Large coordinate uncertainty weakens a result; it does not support the opposite conclusion.
Replication Required
Findings should be replicated on other sites and on matched non-monument controls.
Who Benefits
Built for Careful Skeptics and Careful Enthusiasts
Archaeoastronomers
Reduce horizon azimuths and altitudes to declinations with refraction, parallax and uncertainty.
Metrologists
Test unit hypotheses against uncertainty-aware quantization residuals and randomized controls.
Independent Researchers
Keep a transparent evidence ladder from measured fact to speculation and export it with your results.
