Very good thinking Juergen and it looks you've put a lot of time in this, I still have to read it.
It's not clear to me what your aim of the paper is and why are you publishing it so quickly.
But perhaps the paper has the function of discussion piece?
Could you shed some light on that?
It really is a pitty there is so little feedback on idea's that are not only based on pictures or endless repeating threads.
Roughly there are on the forum two postings:
1) hey here is a picture, here is another one. great. start the line again.
2) I think that this and that. You say nothing new I already know that because. Start the line again.
So, I really like postings like this.
The quality of the paper would be much better and with more thorough references if you would work on such a thing together.
Matching anything of Aristotle with another written source is not something you can do in a day, or in some weeks.
Only since last month I've found out that there are parts in the VMS that have a strong "medieval Aristotle sauce".
The matter of Aristotle is so vast that I am now trying to read what other scientists in medieval times wrote on the subject.
That alone is a huge amount of reading. Understanding and applying Aristotle's work onto the Voynich manuscript (VMS) is an idea many people probably have had.
And it is, in essence a very good idea. But you need to change those ideas into medieval thoughts first, then look through the eyes of that person and only after that you can look to the Voynich with the correct perspective. I was planning to find a summary on all Aristotle works and then work into the 1200-1300 and 1400's but that's probably too much. We'll see.
You are also throwing the Block Paradigm into it? Perhaps that sounds as a bridge too far. But like I said, I still have to read it.
