Voynich Decoded

I presume you haven't been in the google drive or you'd see the paper trail, you are looking at summaries...

I will not be going through a background check to have my logical concerns taken seriously, but to give a sense of how defensive you are being, I previously posted a word list in the same format that you used in a tab on the Google Drive and you replied to it. If I am looking at the wrong place, you need only direct me to the correct one.

Now, I've generously allowed that I may have simply missed where you documented how, for instance, you know that EVA-i equals one hour (my question #2 above). I did have some problems with Academia, but as mentioned they were resolved yesterday with the help of another commentor on the thread, and I have read over the posts, and could not find the explanations I have requested, and my comments since then reflect that fact. As near as I can tell, the answers I am seeking are not in your Google Drive either. If I am wrong you can simply provide me a more detailed location and I will check that part of your work again.

Up to this point I have been very careful not to make any assertions or implications of bad faith on your part. However, I cannot help but note that upon realizing I was asking for you to explain where your knowledge of typical 15th century herbal charts was coming from so that I could make the comparison you are, you wanted me to justify who I am and move to a different venue. (To be crystal clear, I only seek this information so I can verify the comparison you asserted, not any inquiry into your knowledge or qualifications per se; were it not referenced in your paper, I wouldn't ask.) I have come to suspect, and will ask forgiveness in advance if there is some relevant passage and citation that vindicates you,that the herbal tradition you are talking about doesn't exist and that you either fabricated it or alternatively you carelessly passed on a hallucination by Claude or another LLM. Given that you were perfectly happy to make the claims about 15th century herbal practice here, and repeatedly direct me to where you published them when I asked about them, I think this, and not a video call, would be the ideal venue to clear the air around that.

If you provide evidence for this herbal tradition, I will gladly apologize. I am looking forward to finally getting to see more about this tradition you have alluded to as it sounds extremely interesting, both with respect to the VM and on its own merits.
