A constrained procedural framework for the Voynich Manuscript (request for independen
Tiamat > Yesterday, 03:14 PM
I’m sharing a working procedural framework for the Voynich Manuscript, built from iterative cross-folio testing.
Important: This is not a translation or decipherment. It makes no claim of word-for-word reading or natural language identification.
It proposes a set of 46 recurring glyph clusters (“anchors”) with stable procedural roles across herbal, balneological, and cosmological sections.
Key elements:
Right-to-left native directionality (EVA tokens mirrored for consistency).
Repeatable phase cycle: Soak → Vapor → Seal → Reset → Closure.
Anchors selected for stable repetition and phase consistency across sections.
The system aligns with structural and directional cues across folios, forming a repeatable scaffold that governs phase timing.
Transcription: Zandbergen–Landini EVA (ZL3a).

Testable claims
Anchors recur with consistent phase roles across unrelated folio types.
Repetition modifies intensity/duration, not core role.
Sectional adaptation is systematic (herbal = material preparation, balneological = embodied execution, cosmological = timing calibration).
How to test
Select any folio.
Mirror tokens.
Check if anchor roles remain stable without reinterpretation.
Any forced change falsifies the framework.
