IMO, there are two essential parts to the investigative process. There is the method of investigation and there is the item that is under investigation. While the item in this case is the VMs writing, how is that selected? Is it a particular page, a set of statistics or whatever? The investigator already has the choice of methodology. Should the investigator also choose the text to be examined? That is how it always happens, and it seems that failed interpretations are what always result.
Why not use the contents of the manuscript to look for guidance contained in the VMs? White Aries holds a historical representation that acts like a text delivery system that puts a primary emphasis of the outer text band of f71r. It may not function in complete isolation, but you've got to go with what you've got.
Furthermore. the particular text segment by its specific nature may affect the nature of the investigative method to be used - potentially eliminating some choices and perhaps suggesting others. A good deal of sophisticated manipulation has been used to adapt certain historical details of armorial and ecclesiastical heraldry so they will function in an activated capacity. Unfortunately, the modern gap in the necessary familiarity with that relevant, traditional knowledge means that the intended visual guides generally do not register.
Starting with a line of text, and opening the choice of methodology to discussion offers a way for a solution to be developed from the bottom up, rather than being imposed from the top down. In such a situation, the choice of text may be critical. If much of the total text is filler, the analysis of filler will be futile. Having the manuscript put forth a specific text segment would be critical, if no useful determination can be made based of the nature of the text on its own.
