This work proposes a structural reinterpretation of the Phaistos Disk as a procedural symbolic system rather than an undeciphered linguistic text. Building on an initial dual-path framework, the analysis identifies a dominant action–validation (A→C) cadence, side-dependent asymmetry, and a localized disruption–recovery structure. The model is formalized using control-flow-like grammar and evaluated against the standard Godart/Evans corpus (242 impressions, 45 signs). Five independent quantitative observations are examined: entropy differential between sides checkpoint spacing variance (17.4× increase on Side B) conditional pair regularity (02→12 collapse across sides) anomaly clustering (Sign 07) resolution localization (Sign 27) These features are shown to be consistent with a procedural control-flow-like structure and difficult to reconcile with linguistic, ritual, or administrative interpretations. This work does not claim semantic decipherment. Instead, it establishes a falsifiable structural framework in which the Phaistos Disk encodes process rather than language. The study includes formal grammar, statistical analysis, competing model evaluation, and appendices defining symbol indexing and methodology.
