If that’s true, it means – if I understand correctly – that such a mechanism is structurally incompatible with
a coded Latin text,
a phonetic transcription,
a natural language,
a magical litany,
or any text that carries information at the word level. Am I right?

But the whole thing can’t be a hoax either – that’s just as nonsensical. How incredibly ingenious would a forger have to be to maintain such a system over 200 pages? No one in the 15th century could have planned or controlled such a complex pattern. The effort would be completely disproportionate for a simple fraud – it makes no sense at all.

(In principle, we’d have to postulate something like an “extraterrestrial” text, and honestly, that’s even crazier than anything else – especially since I’d hope extraterrestrials could draw better Big Grin )

There has to be a mistake somewhere, because this is too far removed from any plausible reality of the 15th century. Maybe I'm just misunderstanding something. and there's no question that's entirely possible.
