hi yeah sorry about the last post, ive taken advice and changed this one let me try again properly
basically i think its a medical book, shorthand notes taken by a student from spoken instructions. like a pharmaceutical guide passed down, possibly mother to daughter. i visited sri lanka during rehabilitation and saw a lot of similarities between old sinhala (elu) letterforms and the voynich glyphs. temples with big communal baths outside, temple mandalas, the whole feel of it clicked.
i think its focused on womens health which would explain the bathing sections and the female figures throughout. the text was probably originally written on palm leaves which is why you see very few straight lines in the script — straight lines crack the leaf. at some point later someone in europe copied it onto vellum.
a lot of the plant drawings look like they were done from pressed specimens or memory rather than live plants, which would explain the flat leaves and weird proportions. thats what you'd expect from someone drawing plants they trained with rather than ones sitting in front of them.
theres a full set of statistical tests on my github supporting this, section clustering, directionality analysis, ablation studies etc. claude opus was used to help design the tests and write the python but the outputs come from code not from ai making stuff up. my background is in deeptech and llm architecture so i know the difference.
please have a look at the paper and github if you get a chance, i am completely open to criticism. i am not saying this is definitely right, i want the community to prove it right or wrong.
cheers
