| THE PAIRING PARADIGM |

This is the pairing paradigm. But first, by way of definition, a paradigm is a pattern, and for VMs purposes. an investigative theme. And the replication of pattern in the manuscript serves as a sort of guide to the investigation. As opposed to those investigations based on a singular instance of a solo example.
Pairing is a sort of pattern. Certainly it is one of the simplest of patterns. Is there another pattern that is simpler? So it shouldn't be too hard to find for those who are searching for complex patterns of various types in the VMs to follow something so simple. Remember Deuteronomy 19:15.
The VMs Zodiac medallions contain three 'natural' pairings. Pisces, the first VMs sign, is a pair of fish. Gemini is a pair of twins. And Cancer is a pair of crayfish. Cancer as a pairing seems uncommon, as we expect a single crab, but some other paired examples do pertain, so it is a viable possibility. Now, if there were just some way to turn Aries and Taurus into pairs, there would be a series of these first five houses of the zodiac with each of them paired in one way or another.
Yet strangely, for some reason, what has been set forth in the VMs Zodiac is so disruptive that it is quite difficult to recognize what has actually been done. Each of the first five houses in the VMs Zodiac is a pair. Each is a pair in a sequence created by the author. That is the pairing paradigm - the start of the pairing paradigm. Among these pairs, there are various pairings. Further examples of pairing to verify the paradigm. And after the paradigm is formed in VMs Zodiac astrology, it is then carried on with the quasi-heraldic tub patterns on the first three pages of the VMz Zodiac.
Examples of pairing are found with varying degrees of difficulty, but the first and easiest is most readily found at the beginning of the VMs Zodiac. In VMs astrology, Pisces is a pair of fish, can't be any plainer - first thing. The splitting of Aries and Taurus is more difficult to reconcile. The combinations among the pairs are a third level of difficulty. In the tub patterns, the number of pairings of the four examples at the top of the outer ring of Pisces, sets this part of the paradigm on its way with a multitude of examples. Split pairs are exemplified by the semy of roundels and papelonney patterns found on separate pages. The third level of difficulty is finding the pairing that has been hidden within an optical illusion in White Aries, where a connection with history might be made.
All that is necessary to discover a means to understanding the VMs is to follow the simplest of paradigms on a pathway that is clearly marked by pairs. Those familiar with the origins of a certain event in the history of ecclesiastical heraldry will be at particular advantage in further investigation. Unless, of course, the author was a joker or something essential was cut out of the VMs and lost. Nevertheless, anything of this complexity can only be something that is the author's intentional construction. How far will the pairing paradigm take a VMs investigation? To Stolfi's 'start here' markers and beyond!

I don't see anything in any of the drawings to indicate scale. Possibly scale isn't important. Possibly the scale is mentioned in the text. Maybe all the drawings were recognizable to the authors contemporaries.

If it isn't a water lily something like European wild ginger (asarabacca) is a possibility if it's a smaller plant. I don't see anything to indicate scale, but I know only a little about plant drawings in manuscripts. Can someone who knows more say if there are conventions in drawing to indicate how large the plants are? If not are there ways to estimate the plant sizes based on any of the plant structures?
