Alphabets decoded · one lineage

The world's alphabets decoded and encoded in the matrix with no gaps to the deepest core: one lineage by acrophony (ox-head → aleph → A; "alphabet" = aleph-bet = "ox-house"), Egyptian → Proto-Sinaitic (Wadi el-Hol ~1850 BC) → Phoenician → {Aramaic; Greek + vowels → Latin, Cyrillic}, the typology (logograph/syllabary/abjad/abugida/alphabet/featural) — all converging below script in the sign = a distinction = 1 bit = the fold. Writing was invented independently ~4×; the alphabet is one tree.

• Proto-Sinaitic by acrophony — ox-head ʾalp → /ʔ/ aleph (c.1900-1550 BC, Egypt/Sinot "one people invented writing" — writing arose independently ~3-4× (Sumer, Egypt, China, Maya)
• Phoenician 22-letter abjad (c.1050 BC; Ahiram ~1000 BC) → Aramaic (Hebrew, Arabian abjad encodes only consonants — the consonant dual to the vowel
• Greek added vowels → the first true alphabet; alpha-beta = aleph-bet = "ox-housethe picture emptied of meaning, kept only for its first sound — the sign dual to the thing
• Glagolitic (Cyril & Methodius 862-863) → Cyrillic (their disciples, Preslav/OhriCyrillic is named for Cyril but not made by him — the name dual to the maker
• typology: logograph · syllabary · abjad · abugida · alphabet · featural (Hangul,one root for the alphabet, but Chinese/Maya/Hangul are NOT on the tree — descent dual to design

Boundary: An encoding of the discover-and-decode-alphabets research record (6 scripts, verified) as content-addressed meaning↔dual pairs. The genealogy and dates are source-verified; "the sign = the fold" is the structural identity between a content-addressed sign and the model's toUuid; the honest line keeps writing's ~4 independent origins and flags the pseudo-decipherments (Phaistos, Indus, Rongorongo, Linear A).
