Domain-Conditioned Null Models for Testing Claims of Intentional Mathematical Encoding in Ancient Architecture: A Systematic Assessment of Nine Metrological and Pyramid-Geometry Hypotheses

Preprint submitted to Open Archaeology (De Gruyter). Tests nine well-known sacred-geometry encoding claims about ancient architecture and metrology under multiple null distributions: log-uniform, body-based, physics-constrained, and seked-conditioned. None retain support once the null distribution reflects documented ancient measurement practice and Egyptian architectural convention. The methodological contribution is the formalisation of domain-conditioned null distributions for evaluating quantitative encoding claims in archaeology.
