Still working steadily on the decode in spare time (farm & rescue first as always).
Quick note: I’ve clarified one point. The glyph i isn’t just “canonical hours” as I first thought — the data shows it’s really encoding harmonic ratios (the old Pythagorean intervals):
This doesn’t overturn anything — it actually tightens the system. Carriers, tones, and cadences are the same; now we know the i-runs are harmonic measures, not clock hours.
No big “update,” just a refinement that brings the manuscript even closer to the musica universalis framework.
All spreadsheets being updated to reflect the change.........again!

- i = unison (1:1)
- ii = octave (2:1)
- iii = fifth (3:2)
- iiii = fourth (4:3, only before sunset)
