Evaluation Tasks (Perform these tests in order):
1. Internal Consistency Test (Is the system circular?):
· Take a previously unanalyzed page of Voynich text, f31v, which I will provide below.
· Apply the proposed dictionary and grammar rules to "translate" it.
· Critical Analysis: Were you able to generate a coherent "translation" without modifying the rules? If the answer is yes, this is not a validity test. It only demonstrates that the system is a self-consistent set of rules. Proceed with tests 2 and 3, which are the crucial ones.
2. Signal vs. Noise Distinction Test (Negative Control):
· Step A: Generate a "Fake Voynich Text". Use the same roots (chol, daiin, etc.) and prefix/suffix rules, but combine them randomly to create a text with the same length and superficial structure as a real page (e.g., f22r).
· Step B: Attempt to "translate" this random text using the same system.
· Key Question: Is the "translation" of the random text equally coherent, or more incoherent, than the translation of the real text?
· Metric: If the random text produces a narrative as plausible as the original, the system has no discriminatory power and is detecting illusory patterns (pareidolia). This test is a "pass/fail". If it fails here, the system is invalidated.
3. Predictive Capacity Test (The most important one):
· Step A: From page f22r, deliberately hide one complete line, for example, line 4.
· Step B: Using only lines 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, and 8 of f22r and the system's rules, predict the general structure and key tokens that the hidden line 4 should contain. Do not guess the exact line, but its function. (e.g., "Given the sequence of operations, line 4 should probably contain the result of the process, with roots like daiin and state suffixes like -y or -ol").
· Step C: Reveal the actual line 4 and compare.
· Critical Analysis:
· High Success: If you predicted the presence of specific tokens like daiin or the line's function accurately.
· Low Success: If you only correctly predicted that it was a "result line," but with generic terms.
· Failure: If your prediction does not resemble the real line at all. A valid system must have some predictive power.
