Quantitative analysis evaluates masonry course variations in relation to funerary ideology and Osiris iconography.
This preprint presents a quantitative structural analysis of Great Pyramid masonry course thickness variations using exhaustive subset searching and clusterwise regression. By defining agnostic local maxima thresholds (±4-course window), the study isolates robust structural tranches while mitigating the risks of data over-fitting through cyclic-rotation null-hypothesis testing. Alongside the mathematical framework, the paper evaluates the structural data against Old Kingdom funerary ideology, exploring the symbolic alignment of the identified 8-pattern metrics with the iconography of Osiris. A complete overview of the statistical methodology and reproducibility criteria is included.
