A post-detection decipherment matrix

In any decipherment of an unknown language, whether it may be from our own antiquity or from a non-terrestrial source, it is critical to realising an efficient and successful conclusion that amongst the first stages of analysis we isolate its genetic affinity (α). No decipherment, unless a crib is available, has ever been successful without this. In order that a more scientific approach is developed, rather than relying on intuitions and good guesses, a corpus of scripts (both ancient and modern) is to be developed to underpin structural analysis, which is generic for any decipherment. It is intended that such a resource will facilitate the structural interrogation and identification of linguistic features, with contemporary languages, to ascertain affinities with known scripts.
