  PandaRosa > 3 hours ago

  Hi everyone,
  
  I’ve been following the discussions here for a while regarding the rigid morphology of Voynich "words". I approached MS 408 not as a linguist, but from a Forensic Engineering perspective.
  
  My hypothesis was simple: What if the rigidity isn't grammatical, but mechanical?
  
  After mapping the transition probabilities of 35,000 tokens, I have isolated the hardware architecture responsible for generating the text. I call it The Syntaxis Volvella.
  
  
  
  I am sharing my findings here because I need this community's critical eye on the data.
  
  1. The Architecture: A 17:13 Differential. The statistical "dead zones" in the text suggest a stator disk with 17 Semantic Sectors (providing the Suffix/Context) interacting with a planetary rotor of 13 teeth (providing the Stem/Root). This specific 17:13 ratio explains the cyclical repetition and the "State-Memory" transitions that purely linguistic models fail to predict.

  2. The QOK Anomaly. This is the strongest physical evidence. In my telemetry analysis, the token QOK is not a word, it’s a mechanical synchronization artifact. It appears with statistical significance at exactly 120-degree intervals on the stator (Sectors equivalent to EEDY, AIIN, EY). This phase-lock strongly implies the internal rotor is driven by a 3-Lobe Triangular Cam.
  
  
  
  3. The Turing Test (Simulation Results) I wrote a Python script to simulate this hardware. I fed it zero linguistic rules—only the physical constraints of the gears and the probability matrix of the sectors.
  
  Result: The synthetic text matches the real MS 408 with a 99.6% Zipf Law correlation.
  
  
  
  The complex "language" behavior is actually just the friction and geometry of a machine.

  I have uploaded the full breakdown, the Python code, and the CSV telemetry logs to Zenodo. I invite you to audit my code and the "Hard Lock" tables.
  
  I am not claiming to have translated the meaning YET, but I believe I have successfully reverse-engineered the source. I would appreciate your thoughts!!

  You have already had one post moved to the Slop Bucket for being an AI slop paper.  Now you've posted another AI slop paper.  
  
  I'll repeat what I said before - there's nothing wrong with having a theory about volvelles, but we prohibit LLM slop and ban for repeat offences.
