Experimental material model extended
A separate test reader now gives concrete working proposals to 14,617 of 32,339 token positions; 17,722 remain open. Its recurring patterns concern possible hot/cold, dry/moist, material, preparation, and degree fields. These are not confirmed words or translations: the language, sounds, and plaintext remain unknown. The complete 30-page paragraph reader shown on this site is unchanged.
-
Five historical herbal source pairs checked
Two independent readers and a separate reconciliation checked five paired entries from two historical herbal manuscripts. The pairs supply concrete fields for a later comparison. The earlier synthetic decoder path was closed because its constraints could not be satisfied. No Voynich target page was opened, and confirmed Voynich words and plaintext clauses remained zero.
