[split] Volvelles or Disks

[AliciaNelPresente]

The idea of a mechanical system like a volvelle, which could explain a large part of the Voynich text, makes sense. Of course, it still needs to be proven, like everything else, but no one has proven anything yet, so it’s useless to just argue “it must be proven.” You can demonstrate a couple of pages, and the rest might conflict. Every new idea deserves consideration. Then we can also think about it ourselves.

Thank you, Emanuele. You are absolutely right, demanding a complete solution from day one is exactly why this mystery has remained stuck for a century. If a mechanical hypothesis explains the structure better than a linguistic one, it warrants a serious 'reverse engineering' effort (already on going), not dismissal. We are trying to reconstruct the machine first, the text will follow.
