[Article] The Singulion and the Sequence: A Methodological Review of Layfield and Davis 2026

[LisaFaginDavis]

I think it is quite likely that the herbal pages each represent an individual topic - each is a different plant, that is - which means that the interior pages of herbal singulions would not be expected to have consistently high similarity scores when compared to one another. That is why we did not attempt to use the herbal scores to suggest a sequence for herbal singulions. The data were very clear for Quires 13 and 20, but for the first eight quires, I'm not at all sure that there IS a "correct" sequence of singulions. There is definitely more work to be done.
