You could likely "unlock" the manuscript yourself with a competent computer vision algorithm. It's nothing that fancy.

Have you seen the manuscripts? Take a look at slide 10 of https://aitp-conference.org/2026/slides/JvP.pdf . On slide 12 you can at least make out a few words (even before reading the English translation I could clearly read "Jede" and "Systems ist berechenbar"), but any part of the shorthand is completely unrecognizable. Also take a look at slide 6 that shows a bunch of word transcriptions in the shorthand.

If one could wish for a best case publishing, I would like to have the page scans side by side with the German reading side by side with the English translation with running commentary by the research group.

a computer can't see the letter "c" or any letter. You train it based on data and pixels otherwise it is "completely un-recongizable." What is so special about these squiggles? That it is a shorthand? Are words in other languages not "completely unrecognizable" to you?

That would be the future of crowdsourcing - by submitting the same prompt as 1000 other people, you're basically donating your tokens to the cause of maybe spotting a valuable insight the others didn't get because of random output sampling :)

Or just share the Claude sessions as Tao did his.
