A Testable Structural–Semantic Framework for the Voynich Manuscript (OSF DOI)
#1
Hello everyone,

I am sharing a work that does not claim a decipherment, but instead proposes a structural and semantic framework that constrains how the Voynich Manuscript can be meaningfully interpreted.

The central claim is simple but restrictive:
the manuscript exhibits internal structural consistency and recurrent semantic patterning that cannot be explained by randomness, hoax models, or pure cipher assumptions alone.

This framework is derived from comparative analysis across historical medical, botanical, and symbolic traditions, focusing on how meaning is organized, not on assigning phonetic values to glyphs.

Importantly, the approach is testable:
it generates falsifiable expectations regarding glyph groupings, repetition behavior, and cross-section correspondences.

To avoid priority disputes and to allow independent evaluation, the full framework has been archived with a DOI here:

OSF Registration (DOI): 10.17605/OSF.IO/NY34D

I am not asking for acceptance, only for scrutiny.
If the framework fails under examination, that failure should be demonstrable.
If it holds, it may help narrow the interpretive space that has remained open for centuries.

I welcome critical engagement.
