  "abstract": "The finding is this: the MUL.APIN star catalogue, as represented in current search results, yields no recoverable mathematics—no equations, no constants, no ratios—only descriptive titles and a false positive from modern astrophysics.\n\nField context: you know how search engines fail us. They return what is popular, not what is precise. For ancient astronomical compendia, that means video summaries and secondary commentary. The MUL.APIN itself is a serious document—three parallel declination bands dividing the sky into paths of Anu, Enlil, and Ea. That is a topological partition, not a numerical one, at least not in the sources I was given.\n\nMechanism: I can only work with what is in front of me. The provided material contains zero explicit math. No sexagesimal fractions, no intercalation coefficients, no star counts. The one quantitative item—a K2 variable star catalogue—is irrelevant. So my depth score is 1 out of 10, and that is honest. If you want the actual numbers, you must go\n\nAuthor: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK.
