One needs the capacity to <i>recognize</i> patterns to ascertain with any certainty that something is "non-standard". This involves recognizing the pattern of history, the pattern of inscriptions, the pattern of civilization, the Glen Gordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02440249042894225949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7202150793869184289.post-54110619698071785112010-07-10T15:38:47.945-05:002010-07-10T15:38:47.945-05:00I dont think pattern recognition applies to inscri...I dont think pattern recognition applies to inscriptions that are not in some way standard.<br /><br />I worry about the interpretations of the variations (some subtle - some not) of some linear A inscription 'symbols' as example; if the human eye can't decide if they are new symbols or variants of some already known symbol...how in the world will some smarmy software know?kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08382594023842254694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7202150793869184289.post-18466343011249001892010-07-06T17:25:30.460-05:002010-07-06T17:25:30.460-05:00Sppt on.
