uššira piṭāti — the Aten disc, whose rays are also a star graph: a hub joined to every correspondent, and no edge between any two of them

The accusations

59 accusations and 4 alliances, hand-coded from hostile and allied language across 40 letters — every row carries its quotation (Moran 1992, cross-checked against Rainey 2015; cross-edition κ = 0.86).

Signed conflict network diagram: accusation and alliance edges between actors
The signed conflict network. Red = accusation, blue = alliance. The three theatres — the Amurru crisis, the Damascus–Qadesh axis, the southern hill country — are invisible in the correspondence layer, where nearly every letter just goes to Egypt.

A reading note: these are claims, not facts. Rib-Hadda accusing Aziru tells us what Rib-Hadda wanted pharaoh to believe. The network of who-accuses-whom is real political structure either way — you denounce the neighbor who threatens you.
