This paper presents the first systematic account of that Index. We argue that the KBI represents an indigenous solution to a universal problem: how to encode, retrieve, and update socio-ritual information without writing. Unlike written records, which are linear and textual, the KBI is spatial, tactile, and performative. It is an index in Peirce’s sense: each doll stands in existential connection to the event it records.
