The 'Chinese' Theory: For and Against

[Jorge_Stolfi]

Folks, I have finished the write-up of the "IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT" that I importantly announced a couple of weeks ago.

First, the solution to the anagram: ANIMUS NE IDEAS --> "DAIIN" MEANS "USE".

Actually, the most important part of the discovery is not new: The Starred Parags section (SPS) of the VMS is a close transcription or translation of the Chinese medical classic Sennong Bencao Jing (SBJ). 

I posted this discovery to this forum a few months ago.  But the evidence that I had at the time, that seemed to be pretty convincing to me -- similar histograms of paragraph sizes -- was dismissed by the flat-Earthers on duty as "mere coincidence". 

What is new is that now I have much better evidence.  You can jump straight to page 8 of You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.. (Pages 1-7 are intro and the histogram evidence again.) 

As you will see there, daiin (the most common word in the SPS) corresponds quite closely to the Chinese character 主 zhǔ (the most common character in the SBJ).  Strictly speaking that character has the general sense of "main" or "mainly", but seems to occur almost always in the compound 主治 zhǔ zhì which can be translated as "indications:", or "the main uses are" or "is mainly used for".  The SBJ is a list of ~360 drugs and their uses; 主治 is a "key" in the rather uniform formula of the SBJ entries, that introduces the list of diseases.

All the best, --stolfi
