Simple answer; I have spent manty years of intensive study and Egyptology had already done all of the heavy lifting of solving this. They had already "circumscribed the meaning" of every single word so all I had to do was find the fixed meaning of the words. I stumbled into it backward.
It may not seem like it but I've clamored up on the backs of the giants of the past. My work doesn't seem like an addition but it truly is. It doesn't seem like it only because the implied intent of the authors is utterly different than has been proposed previously. But it really isn't that strange that when they said the king is a star per Allen, Sethe, Mercer, et al that perhaps this was the literal meaning of what the authors all said. The king is a star because it's all that's left him at night and during the day "he is the pyramid".
This isn't exactly groundbreaking and for most practical purposes (in terms of translation) I am merely supporting the translators. I believe the translators got much of the translation exactly and literally correct though they often did miss the point. The nature of what I did simply didn't require a Champollion or even an Allen. It merely required someone who believed everybody always makes sense. I believe the authors of the PT made perfect sense all the time in terms of their premises and their understanding of the natural world. Anybody using my techniques to build on the greats of Egyptology and with my beliefs would come to the same conclusions; a specific star and pyramid represented a specific king and this can all be deduced from a collection of rituals written in a kind of language that no longer exists among humans.
