Within the Herbal section, the correlation between the cho/che ratio and the d/l ratio is essentially zero. Knowing the switch state of a folio tells you nothing about its d/l ratio, and vice versa. They are independent dimensions of the manuscript's structure, driven by separate mechanisms that happen to partially align in Currier's coarse classification.

I don't think I understand most of this, could you maybe explain the implications a bit more? If the "signals" do not map to A/B then are we just talking about some arbitrary split of folios into groups and then identifying some metric orthogonal to this division? What's the use of this? I think you mentioned some "structure" that this approach unveils, what is this structure?

The proposed structure to sustain the A/B split is a 3-layers construct: a template system, a switch modulating the use of these templates (per folio), and an independent d/l dimension.
