Strong evidence of a structured four-phase system in the Voynich Manuscript

[nablator]

Because any clustering will always find some internal order — that’s just how unsupervised learning works. But the real test is whether it consistently aligns with an external structure (in our case, the lunar phases we hypothesize). That only happens at seed 1405.

I understand a little better, thanks. 1405 is special.

I was confused because you wrote earlier:
"The seed 1405 is arbitrary and used solely to ensure full reproducibility. Any other fixed number would work — this one was chosen to match the year 1405, which aligns with the possible calendar framework used in the analysis"
