Register or Login to view.There is zero agreement on the middle part of the manuscript but most people agree than the first half of the manuscript is probably like a typical Medieval Herbal guide.  It is probably talking about what ailments the illustrated plant is good for and how to prepare the parts for treatments.  My favorite plant page is You are not allowed to view links.

I think You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. it talking about the three stages that a human soul goes through during the ensoulment process so I am very interested in the text on that page.  For years I have been trying to figure out the word for "soul".

Because you are looking for a specific concept like soul, I ran the exact four lines of text from the top of You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. through the engine to see what the mathematical blueprint of your page looks like.

I'm using the Takahashi transcription for my project. The EVA for You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. is:
Quote:polarar okor opcheey yteey opchaly lshedy qofchdal lkodol opa korols
scsedy keedy cholkeeey otedor okor shedy chedy qokeedy oly shey qoyky
dchedy qokeedy oteedy chedaiin chey qokeedy olkedy ror oteedy okal
solkeey sor shecthy daiin okar

When forced to look at the 16 bit short word level, the engine immediately isolated a highly rigid family of structures dominating this specific paragraph. The mathematical root edy is the central anchor here. The engine mapped it rigidly binding to different prefixes to create highly controlled variations:
  • chedy
  • shedy
  • oteedy
  • qokeedy

The 24 bit lens also caught the strict chaining of these words, highlighting that sequences like hedy qoke and y qokeedy are mathematically bound grammatical units specific to this block of text.

If this page is describing three stages of a soul, we would expect the structural grammar to reflect a state change.
  • Hypothesis A: Does the word for soul act as a base root, perhaps something like edy or chedy, that gets modified by prefixes to represent the three different stages? For example, is stage one chedy, stage two shedy, and stage three oteedy?
  • Hypothesis B: Or is the word for soul a static, repeating block, and the surrounding structural formulas act as the verbs changing its state?

Because the engine has mapped the entire 5,200 plus folio dataset, we do not have to guess. If you have a candidate word on this page that you think means soul, let me know what it is. 

I can query the database and we can look at its mathematical behaviour across the entire manuscript. We can check if it structurally behaves like a noun, what prefixes it is legally allowed to take, and if its structural fingerprint changes when moving from the herbal section to the balneological section.
