First, it is better to leave EVA and other transcription systems out of the discussion. They have their uses, but they create confusion.
Second, the visual correspondence of VMs glyphs with other examples of letters, signs, symbols and abbreviations has been pretty well established in other medieval documents. J K Petersen has an extensive collection of examples. The problem is with the interpretation.
The problem with interpretation is language, or code, or babble or whatnot. How can interpretation be proven? Not by claims, but by demonstration.
Take the ninja challenge and read the outer ring of VMs White Aries.
This text segment is marked out by one of Stolfi's "start here" markers. While there is also a similar marker on the middle ring of this page, the only other such marker in the VMs Zodiac sequence is on VMs Cancer. While other examples of markers are found is the Rosettes and elsewhere, the three Zodiac examples are clearly more complex.
A second system of designation for the White Areis segment of text is provided by the visual language of medieval heraldry. A red hat and blue stripes, given their heraldic interpretations, are indicative of historical events and ecclesiastical tradition despite their intentional disguise. The marker in the middle ring is connected to the figure in the outer ring.
Markers and blue striped patterns both exist in pairs. Illustrative pairing is a VMs marker to indicate validity.
The outer ring text has a particular repetitive structure, and a papal recommendation. While other texts would also be of interest, this recommendation, backed by the papelonny pun, should indicate this segment's potential significance.
