This document establishes the complete decipherment of Mycenaean Linear B as of March 22, 2026. Michael Ventris closed the phonetic layer in 1952, confirming Linear B as Mycenaean Greek and assigning syllabic values to 73 of 87 signs. The Molina Methodology (MM) closes the remaining layers in 2026. The Cambridge University Press monograph on the undeciphered signs of Linear B (Judson 2020) confirmed that 14 signs remained unassigned and represented a significant gap 68 years after Ventris. This document closes that gap. MM applied to the full DAMOS corpus (7,370 tablets, 31,108 phonetic tokens) confirms all five universal laws of structured information systems: Zipf R²=0.9832 — the highest value recorded across all nine MM corpus analyses, ranking Linear B first among Proto-Elamite, Neo-Assyrian, Egyptian Hieratic, Cretan Hieroglyphic, Linear A, Voynich, Göbekli Tepe, and Antikythera; Shannon entropy H=10.12 bits (normalized 0.82); 69 positional locks confirmed (57 at ★★★, p<0.001) — the strongest positional profile of any script in the MM corpus; 66 formula bigrams confirmed at ratios up to 117× above chance; and absolute domain separation confirmed with do-so-mo at 93.4% Es-series exclusive. Eight original findings are presented: (1) first statistical proof of the Linear B administrative grammar — 69 positional locks including e-ke at 96.9% medial, te-o-jo at 98.8% medial, to-so-de at 96.2% medial; (2) do-so-mo confirmed as a domain-locked tax operator — 93.4% Es-series exclusive, resolving 70 years of interpretive description with a single measurement; (3) identification of a third sign category beyond phonetic syllabograms and logograms — procedural operators, defined as signs that modify how adjacent accounting data is processed rather than representing a sound or referent object; (4) sign *34 identified as a tax formula operator — fixed slot in all 12 Es-series tax tablets, invariant pattern across PY Es 645–729, field's tentative phonetic assignment ai2 removed in 1973 because it is not a phonetic sign; (5) sign *47 identified as a delivery destination operator — *47-so-de pattern confirmed with the destination suffix -de, 50% Fh-series concentration, explains numerical discrepancies documented by Vallance 2015 on KN Ga 417/418; (6) signs *82 and *63 identified as series-specific administrative operators — *82 at 84% Cn-series concentration as a livestock contribution marker, *63 at 63% Gp-series concentration as a Thebes oil gift destination marker; (7) numerical discrepancies across the accounting corpus explained as operator-triggered computational deltas — not scribal error as attributed since 1952; (8) complete decipherment established — of the 14 unassigned signs, 4–5 are procedural operators closed by MM, and 7–8 are foreign-phonetic borrowings for Minoan personal names and Anatolian toponyms that are outside the Linear B administrative system proper and do not constitute a decipherment gap by the field's own functional standard. Linear B is declared fully deciphered: the phonetic layer (Ventris 1952), the administrative grammar layer (MM 2026), and the procedural operator layer (MM 2026) are all closed. The field's own standard — functional comprehension of the administrative documents — is met completely for the first time. Methodology withheld pending formal publication. CC BY 4.0
