# 🔭 Orascope (Code: ORASCOPE)
**"A Hubble Telescope for Ancient Chinese Civilization"**

## Overview
Orascope is a computational paleography engine built to reverse-engineer Chinese script evolution. It bridges the "Modality Gap" between Oracle Bone Script (OBS) imagery and modern semantic concepts using manifold learning.

## The Instrument Suite
Orascope integrates three core "lenses":
* **`maniscope`**: RAG-based retrieval and evidence grounding.
* **`semanscope`**: Geometric visualization of semantic manifolds.
* **`orascope`**: The evolution tracker and cross-modal alignment engine.

## Core Principles
* **Non-Euclidean:** Uses Diffusion Geometry and Geodesic distances.
* **Topology-First:** Prioritizes stroke connectivity and branching over raw pixel similarity.
