Okay, how about off target? There is a nebuly line in the VMs cosmos, used as a cosmic boundary, rather than a representation of elemental air. It is significant in that it shows that the VMs artist understood the proper use of a nebuly line as a cosmic boundary. Nebuly line variations are used in the VMs rosettes, the balneological section, and even for leaf margins in a number of VMs plants.
Following the nebuly line is an interesting adventure and knowing the correct etymological connotation opens a valuable perspective on VMs artistry, but that is not the purpose of this thread.
The purpose of this thread is to renew and bring forward the comparison of the three cosmic diagrams as stated in the first posting. For example, as previously noted, the Earth in BNF and Harley is pictorial. In the VMs, vords take the place of pictures. Obviously, we can't read it, but the probable choices are either elemental or geographic, and geographic would be a standard T-O, not inverted as can be seen.
The artist has ostensibly switched pictures for Voynichese words. Without changing the structure or the message the artist has changed the method of communication and totally altered the appearance. If an investigation is based of appearance, then the comparison is a total reject. But are these cosmic diagrams representing the same thing? Is the VMs diagram showing us a representation of an elemental, inverted T-O Earth?
Comparisons continue to the other parts of the cosmos as well.
