The four elements interpretation is not familiar, but it may have possibilities.
I would say that the outer boundary of the blue area of f70r1 is an interesting pattern. If you are familiar with the nebuly line and the scallop-shell patterned cloud-bands, then here in this illustration there is a scallop-shell pattern on the outside and a plain, nebuly line on the inside. This type of fancy outside and plain inside construction does occur in medieval illustrations, though uncommon. If this interpretation is valid, then the cloud-based connections would imply f70r1 is air.
Some cosmic illustrations have interior spheres for elements in addition to planets, in a sequence: earth, water, air, and fire. Or will the VMs reinvent tradition?
