Help with Arabic/Syriac Reading of F1R

[rikforto]

I think I can fairly convincingly demonstrate "readability" of the VMS under the context of a pharmacological reference document in the vein of the Kitab al-Azmina and I hope to have that with the community in the next few days.

One of the many problems with AI "solutions" is that LLMs don't understand Popper, so it guides people to do stuff like ask the audience to prove a hypothesis wrong rather than the person putting it forward to nullify the null hypothesis.

While not super formally, several people have now given you what you need to piece together why substitution based on the EVA alphabet is not likely to lead people to rejecting the null hypothesis, and the knowledge to know attempting this style of solution *very* well-tread ground. In short, the statistical properties of Voynichese letter ordering are very different from most natural languages, including Semitic languages, and at any rate, the EVA alphabet was not chosen with any insight into the underlying letter values.

Further recourse to an LLM is not going to help you overcome these problems. Because the answer is neither in the LLM's training set nor based on known emergent phenomena, whatever ML process you are using is not going to result in a convincing solution
