This way of publishing without quoting his predecessors is distressing, one no longer knows who says what.
Koen posted about this in detail more than a year ago You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.. I'm not aware of any predecessors who have written about the You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. head in depth prior to Koen.
The previous thread is a more general thread about the plant that includes quite a bit of discussion of the fruits (in addition to the head), so I wanted to start a thread specifically for looking at heads, to see if there's anything we might have missed or which might add some insights to the idea. it doesn't have to be limited to the head in the tendril, if there are other similar heads (or hidden heads) like this one in other parts of the manuscript (implied rather than overt).
I was happy that DavidJackson mentioned the steganographic head (although it seems vaguer to me than the tendril head) because it opens up the possibility of other heads that might be implied in other ways and it wasn't one that I had seen before.
