No text, but a visual code

[tavie]

All I'm saying is that there is scientific consensus that the Voynich plants are mostly fantastic creations.

I thought there was a still perfectly respectable theory that the unusual features of the plants could constitute mnemonics.  That is not the same as them being fantastical creations, let alone scientific consensus on that point.  This sounds somewhat reminiscent of when you attributed certainty to Mary d'Imperio that she did not herself express.

Why did the author invent them? The only guide we have to give an answer is the other half of the book, which is cosmological in content. And the most likely answer is that it is the stars that have created those rare herbs, because that answer fits well with medieval thought.

The script is not a phonetic but a visual language because it cannot be otherwise...

I'm struggling to follow your theory here.  Are you saying that...
1. The plants are mostly invented
2. Therefore the author was arguing the stars could..."create" these herbs
3. Therefore this proves all the text isn't real text.
