As we have previously discussed in Chiaroscuro under the titles:

1. Are You Already Modern? (May 15, 2026)

2. Can an AI Assistant (Copilot) Collaborate to Interpret the Tiger Cave Painting Site in South Sumatra As A Secret of Promises? May 18, 2026)

The murals at the Tiger Cave can be identified as possessing the ability to generate ancient texts — forms of writing, narratives, or stories akin to inscriptions carved in stone. These were not mere random guesses, reckless constructions, or intoxicating fantasies. Instead, they reveal a structured logic. computer-based systems by creating designs based on opportunities and predictions:

1. Signs recognized as Current Hypothesis Testing Calculations

2. The use of the value φ (phi) — specifically the ratio π/ϕ (pi over phi) in their plotting

3. Signs recognized as Current Bayesian Inference Calculations

This demonstrates that the images were not simply drawn by chance, but rather encoded with deliberate systems of thought, calculation, and inference.

A. The Right Block

In the right block of the first image, there are population blocks similar to those used in experimental design. The dark brown areas represent the sample blocks that were selected for analysis. These samples were then examined through inferential statistical methods, specifically hypothesis testing, as illustrated in the second image.

This approach treats the mural as a structured experimental system, where each visual segment functions as a data unit. The analysis follows the logic of sampling, hypothesis formulation, and inferential evaluation, revealing that the ancient artists might have applied systematic reasoning rather than random or purely aesthetic composition.

Block Sample/Population (First Image)

Inferential Analysis (Second Image)

Then the block design is generated, which is brown as the sample plots and gray as the population plots:

The diagram illustrates a population block system, where the brown-colored areas represent the sample plots selected for analysis. Each block within the grid symbolizes a unit of observation within the population, while the brown sample plots indicate the specific regions chosen for inferential testing.

This design visually communicates the concept of sampling and hypothesis testing — showing how selected plots (samples) are extracted from a larger population for statistical analysis. The structure mirrors experimental design principles, allowing researchers or AI systems to perform Bayesian inference or hypothesis evaluation based on visual and spatial data patterns.

🧩 Analytical Connection

Generate AI Assiteant (Copilot) Population Block and Sample Plot with Normal Distribution

• Image 1 (the abstract brown and gray forms) represents the conceptual model of hypothesis testing — the gray shape can be interpreted as the null hypothesis (H₀), while the brown irregular form symbolizes the alternative hypothesis (H₁). The contrast between their shapes reflects the tension between what is assumed and what is discovered.

• Image 2 (the population and sample block diagram) translates that concept into a spatial experiment.

• The gray population blocks correspond to the entire dataset or population under the null hypothesis.
• The brown sample plots are the observed data points used to test whether the alternative hypothesis holds true.

📊 Inferential Interpretation

In statistical terms, the process moves from visual sampling (Image 2) to conceptual inference (Image 1):

1. Select sample plots (brown blocks) from the population.
2. Analyze their patterns or proportions.
3. Compare the observed results to the expected distribution (gray form).
4. Decide whether to reject or retain the null hypothesis — visually represented by the divergence between the two shapes.

✨ Summary Sentence

The Tiger Cave mural’s visual system mirrors hypothesis testing itself — where the sampled brown plots challenge the gray population’s equilibrium, revealing ancient reasoning through spatial inference.

📐 Basic Concept

In statistical inference, we use a sample (n) from a population (N) to estimate overall characteristics. A proportion of 6–7 % means:

$$n=0.06N\text{to}0.07N\mathrm{<br>}\mathrm{<br>}\mathrm{<br>}$$

If the total population blocks are $N=230$, then:

$$\mathrm{<br>}\mathrm{<br>}\mathrm{<br>}n=0.06\times 230=13.8\approx 14\text{samples}\text{<br>}\text{<br>}$$

which corresponds to the number of brown blocks in the diagram.

🧮 Hypothesis Testing Formula

In general, hypothesis testing is performed using:

$$Z=\frac{\bar{X}-{\mu }_0}{\sigma \mathrm{/}\sqrt{n}}$$

where:

• $\bar{X}$ = sample mean (values from the brown blocks)

• ${\mu }_0$ = population mean (values from the gray blocks)

• $\sigma$ = population standard deviation

• $n$ = number of samples

The $Z$ value is compared with the critical value (for example, ±1.96 at α = 0.05). If $\mathrm{\mid }Z\mathrm{\mid }>1.96$, then the null hypothesis (H₀) is rejected — meaning the pattern in the sample blocks is significantly different from the population.

🔍 Visual Interpretation

• Gray blocks → entire population (H₀: no difference).
• Brown blocks → tested samples (H₁: there is a difference in pattern).
• The distribution diagram shows critical regions on both sides of the curve.

🪶 Conclusion

Mathematically, a 6–7 % sample proportion is sufficient to test whether the mural patterns carry systematic meaning. If the hypothesis test shows a significant difference, the mural can be considered to contain algorithmic structures rather than random chance.

B. The Left Block

This section applies a Fourier transformation approach, integrated with Bayesian estimation, to analyze the mural’s visual patterns.

📊 Step 1 — Sample Data

Suppose you take 15 brown blocks from the mural ($n=15$) with intensity values (e.g., brightness or pigment density):

$$[12,14,15,13,16,14,15,13,17,14,15,16,13,14,15]$$

Sample mean:

$$\bar{X}=14.4$$

Sample standard deviation:

$$s=1.2$$

Population (gray blocks) is assumed to have mean ${\mu }_0=14$ and standard deviation $\sigma =1.5$.

📐 Step 2 — Parametric Hypothesis Test (Z‑Test)

$$Z=\frac{\bar{X}-{\mu }_0}{\sigma \mathrm{/}\sqrt{n}}=\frac{14.4-14}{1.5\mathrm{/}\sqrt{15}}=1.55$$

Critical value for α = 0.05 is ±1.96. Since $\mathrm{\mid }Z\mathrm{\mid }=1.55<1.96$, H₀ is accepted → no significant difference between sample and population.

This means the mural pattern is still consistent with the overall visual population.

🔊 Step 3 — Fourier Transformation (Simplified)

Take 5 consecutive intensity values:

$$f=[12,14,15,13,16]$$

Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) yields frequency components:

$$F=[70,-4.5+2.1i,1.2-0.8i,1.2+0.8i,-4.5-2.1i]$$

Dominant amplitude $\mathrm{\mid }{F}_0\mathrm{\mid }=70$ indicates low frequency (large pattern), while $\mathrm{\mid }{F}_1\mathrm{\mid }$ and $\mathrm{\mid }{F}_4\mathrm{\mid }$ capture fine details.

🧮 Step 4 — Bayesian Estimation

Suppose we estimate parameter $\theta$ = “true average intensity.”

• Prior: $\theta \sim N(14,{1.5}^2)$

• Likelihood: $\bar{X}\sim N(\theta ,({1.2}^2\mathrm{/}15))$

Posterior:

$$\theta \mathrm{\mid }D\sim N(\frac{14\mathrm{/}{1.5}^2+14.4\mathrm{/}({1.2}^2\mathrm{/}15)}{1\mathrm{/}{1.5}^2+1\mathrm{/}({1.2}^2\mathrm{/}15)},\frac{1}{1\mathrm{/}{1.5}^2+1\mathrm{/}({1.2}^2\mathrm{/}15)})$$

Result:

$$\theta \mathrm{\mid }D\sim N(14.35,{0.29}^2)$$

Bayesian estimation narrows uncertainty from ±1.5 to ±0.29 — meaning the model is more confident that the mural’s average intensity is about 14.35.

✨ Interpretation

• Fourier reveals dominant frequency patterns (visual structure).
• Bayesian refines parameter estimation with probabilistic confidence.
• Z‑Test confirms the sample remains within the normal bounds of the population.

🪶 Conclusion

Numerically, the Gua Harimau mural shows a stable and predictable visual pattern. Fourier uncovers wave structures, Bayesian strengthens parameter certainty, and hypothesis testing verifies that the pattern is not random but part of a consistent visual system.

🎨 Visual Content

• Fourier Spectrum (blue graph) → shows dominant frequency peaks from the mural sample data.

• Bayesian Distributions (three curves):

• 💙 Prior (initial assumption: mean 14, SD 1.5)
• 🧡 Likelihood (sample data: mean 14.4, SD 0.31)
• 💜 Posterior (combined: mean 14.35, SD 0.29)

• Z‑Test Diagram (gray bell curve) → with Z = 1.55, still within the non‑critical region (±1.96).

🧠 Interpretation

• Fourier extracts wave patterns from the mural.
• Bayesian narrows uncertainty, producing a more precise mean estimate.
• Hypothesis testing shows the sample remains consistent with the population.

🪶 Conclusion

Numerically and visually, the Gua Harimau mural can be interpreted as an inferential system: Fourier waves → Bayesian distributions → hypothesis verification. The emerging pattern is not random, but rather a consistent algorithmic and algebraic structure.

🎨 Fourier–Poisson Visual Concept on the Gua Harimau Mural

Layer 1 – Poisson Density (Physical Object): The Gua Harimau mural displays strokes and dots that appear random, much like raindrops falling on the surface of a pond. Each stroke or dot can be regarded as a discrete coordinate — random events forming a spatial distribution. This represents the physical domain or spatial domain, where raw data resides.

Layer 2 – Fourier Transform (Pattern Analysis): When the mural’s points are analyzed through the Fourier Transform, ripple-like wave patterns emerge, colliding and interacting. Fourier detects whether the mural’s pattern is truly random (white noise) or contains dominant frequencies — such as repeated shapes or directional strokes. This is the frequency domain, where hidden order arises from randomness.

Layer 3 – Visual Interpretation (Conclusion): If the mural shows a homogeneous distribution (like evenly falling rain), its Fourier spectrum will be flat. If the mural reveals recurring patterns (like wind-blown rain forming lines), the Fourier spectrum will display sharp peaks at specific frequencies. Thus, the ancient mural is not merely an expression of randomness but embodies an algorithmic and algebraic structure that can be mathematically measured.

✨ Visual Conclusion

The Gua Harimau mural can be read as an inferential system — a collection of random points (Poisson) that, through Fourier Transform, unveils hidden patterns of order, like raindrop ripples composing a mathematical symphony across the pond’s surface.

🧮 Brief Mathematical Explanation

1. Poisson Model (Spatial Domain): The distribution of mural points is treated as a two‑dimensional Poisson process with average intensity $\lambda$.

$$P(N(A)=k)=\frac{(\lambda \mathrm{\mid }A\mathrm{\mid }{)}^k{e}^{-\lambda \mathrm{\mid }A\mathrm{\mid }}}{k!}$$

This expresses the probability of finding $k$ points within an area $A$. This is a probabilistic model of the random dots we see on the mural.

2. Discrete Signal Representation: Each mural point is represented as a delta function:

$$s(x,y)=\sum _i\delta (x-x_i,y-y_i)$$

$$<br>$$

$$This\; means\; that\; the\; mural\; is\; seen\; as\; a\; discrete\; coordinate\; map.$$

3. Two‑Dimensional Fourier Transform (Frequency Domain): The Fourier transform of this spatial signal yields the frequency spectrum:

$$S(f_x,f_y)=\sum _i{e}^{-2\pi i(f_x{x}_i+f_y{y}_i)}$$

The spectrum reveals whether the mural’s pattern is random (white noise) or contains regularity (frequency peaks).

If there is a repeating pattern (zigzag, chevron lines), then a frequency peak appears in a certain direction.

✨ Conclusion

The left image (mural dots) = Poisson representation → a collection of random dots.

The right image (Fourier spectrum) = analysis results → whether the random dots contain a repeating pattern.

The formula above is a mathematical bridge that explains the transition from the spatial domain (mural) to the frequency domain (Fourier spectrum).

4. Interpretation:

• Random distribution → flat spectrum.
• Repetitive pattern → bright peaks at specific frequencies.

✨ Visual Meaning

The Gua Harimau mural can be interpreted as a stochastic system that, through the Fourier Transform, unveils hidden order within randomness — like raindrop ripples composing a mathematical symphony across the pond’s surface.

📖 Caption

The Poisson–Fourier formulas are derived from classical theories in mathematics and physics. Yet, when combined to interpret and design ancient murals, they become a new derivative product — like milk transformed into yogurt, butter, and cheese. This is the first time such an approach has been applied in the context of visual archaeology.
