Mesoamerican codices

Kill-instrument — a dataset that can test conjectures

Maya codices and the monumental corpus (MHD); Mixtec screenfolds; Aztec pictorial/annotated codices. (2026-07-15 gate correction: retitled from the amendment table's 'Maya & Mixtec' to 'Mesoamerican codices' to cover the gate's Aztec reassignment into this family.)

Open conjectures — noetic, untested

Falsifiable questions posed below the evidence boundary by the 1001 Conjectures project. They are leads, not evidence, and carry no weight in this page's assessment.

From the One Thousand and One Conjectures. They carry no evidential weight here; verdicts and credits live on each conjecture's own page.
