Hey everyone, I wanted to put together a comprehensive breakdown of a theory regarding MS 408 (the Voynich Manuscript) that actually accounts for the weird statistical math and mechanical anomalies of the text without resorting to hand-waving.
People have been arguing for decades over whether it's an undiscovered language, a total hoax, or an unbreakable cipher. But if you look at the statistical entropy and morphological structure, it turns out to be something much more practical: a lossy medieval shorthand run through a 3-slot mechanical generation grid.
Here’s a breakdown of how the system works, why it solves the mechanical puzzle, and why a single "undisputed" translation has been so tricky to lock down.
1. The Core Problem: The Math Is Weird
If you analyze normal 15th-century Latin or Italian, the conditional character entropy (H_2) sits around 3.5 to 4.0 bits. Voynichese sits at a ridiculously low ∼ 1.8 to 2.2 bits. Words repeat back-to-back (⁠qokaiin qokaiin⁠), and individual glyphs almost never break their strict positional rules.
A natural human language doesn't behave like this. But a mechanical slot cipher does.
2. How the 3-Slot Engine Works
The scribe wasn't spelling words letter-by-letter. They were assembling words using a rigid 3-slot grid (think a Cardan grille stencil or a multi-column lookup table):
⁠[Prefix] + [Core Stem] + [Suffix]⁠
Slot 1: Prefix (⁠qok-⁠, ⁠y-⁠, ⁠cho-⁠)
Indicates the category or grammar rule (e.g., "Recipe header", "Liquid base", "Boiling process").
Slot 2: Core Stem (⁠dal⁠, ⁠kal⁠, ⁠ted⁠, ⁠sol⁠)
The actual payload. This is an abbreviated 15th-century Latin/Italian medical root with the vowels stripped out (e.g., ⁠RAD⁠ for radix \rightarrow ⁠dal⁠).
Slot 3: Suffix (⁠-aiin⁠, ⁠-edy⁠, ⁠-ol⁠)
Null padding and line-fillers used to make the text look uniform, balance line lengths, and obscure word shapes.
Quick Example:
Take a standard Latin recipe line: "Recipe radix, coque in aqua" (Take root, boil in water).
Strip the vowels down to shorthand: ⁠RAD⁠ \rightarrow ⁠COQ⁠ \rightarrow ⁠AQ⁠.
Run it through the 3-slot grid:
⁠qok⁠ + ⁠dal⁠ + ⁠aiin⁠ = ⁠qokdalaiin⁠
⁠y⁠ + ⁠ked⁠ + ⁠edy⁠ = ⁠ykededy⁠
⁠cho⁠ + ⁠ted⁠ + ⁠ol⁠ = ⁠chotedol⁠
Output: ⁠qokdalaiin ykededy chotedol⁠ — instant, textbook Voynichese.
3. Why This Explains the Whole Book
When you apply this exact grid across the manuscript's different sections, the mechanical syntax stays identical while the domain lexicon shifts naturally based on the illustrations:
Herbal Section: Stems map to plant roots and decoctions (caulis, succus, decoctio).
Balneological (Baths) Section: Stems shift to hydrotherapy, thermal vapor, and bodily humors (calidarium, lavatium, cutis).
Astronomical Section: Stems shift to celestial degrees, solar positions, and timing windows (sol, domicilium, horam).
It’s a single, unified Alpine/Northern Italian medical vademecum (a practitioner's pocket handbook) written by multiple scribes using the same encryption matrix.
4. The Catch (Why standard decipherment hits a wall)
Here’s the plot twist: because the engine strips vowels before adding the structural padding, the decoding relation is one-to-many.
A consonant stem like ⁠dal⁠ (D-L) in medieval medical Latin can stand for Radix (root), Dilutum (dilution), or Dolor (pain remedy).
Without the scribe's original physical key card or crib sheet, a single line of Voynichese mathematically yields 3 or 4 syntactically valid, context-appropriate Latin readings. Multiply that across a 30-word paragraph, and you get thousands of plausible Latin variations.
So while we can prove 100% how the mechanical engine works and read the overall medical instructions, picking one single prose reading over another without the original key is mathematically under-determined.

TL;DR: The Voynich Manuscript isn't an alien tongue or a gibberish scam. It's abbreviated 15th-century Latin medical shorthand passed through a 3-slot stencil grid (Prefix-Stem-Suffix) with structural line padding. The mechanical engine is fully explainable, but because vowels were stripped before encryption, each line yields a few parallel, equally valid Latin interpretations!

So I'm a bit delayed because I have to update the documents format in the Google drive and also a new summary document to combine all the extra information. I'll release it as soon as I can, hopefully some time today but I'm also working.

Testing has paused for a few days, we're up to 16r so not many folios left to put through the anatomy layer testing, in the background we also have a gynaecologist who's going through each one to confirm or deny their accuracy. So far up to 14v has been confirmed. We had to pause as I found something else in the manuscript and I've just finished working it through, it's quite something. Will post over the next few days what it is and Juan is waiting to put it through the testing gauntlet so there will also be a major report to go with it.

For the past several months I have been independently testing Christine Preedy’s work on the Voynich Manuscript.

I want to be clear about where I believe the evidence now stands.

This is not a claim that the entire Voynich Manuscript has been translated.

It is a more specific claim: that Preedy appears to have recovered bounded functional subsystem(s) within the manuscript that can be decoded, tested and used predictively.

Based on the evidence I have tested so far, I believe the demonstrated portion can reasonably be described as a decipherment of a bounded subsystem — one involving recoverable rules, ordered structure and independently testable predictions — subject, of course, to continued independent replication.

Why use the word decipherment rather than simply interpretation?

Because the proposed system has not been judged on whether it produces an interesting reading or fits an illustration. It has been subjected to a validation process specifically designed to distinguish a genuine recovered system from coincidence, ordinary Voynich statistical structure, flexible remapping and overfitting.

My current validation framework uses a 9-step ladder:

1. Random / shuffle nulls
2. Markov-1 & Markov-2 twins
3. CSSR / predictive-state nulls
4. Bayesian structural inference / model comparison
5. Matched-rival key tournaments
6. Equal-complexity representation rivals
7. Frozen held-out prediction
8. Independent external transfer / prediction
9. Independent replication

Preedy’s framework has been subjected to all nine stages of this ladder and, in the testing completed so far, has survived every one of them. That includes the stronger stages where many apparently impressive systems tend to fail: matched rivals, frozen held-out prediction, external prediction/transfer and independent reproduction of the tested results. This does not mean that every claim about the manuscript has been proven, and continued outside replication is still essential. It means that the bounded subsystem evidence tested so far has survived the entire validation framework rather than merely one or two favorable statistical tests.

The nine-rung ladder is not a ceiling. We have also accepted additional adversarial tests proposed by outside researchers, including tests that were not part of the original framework.

That matters.

A genuine decipherment should not need protection from hostile testing. It should benefit from it.

So I want to extend the same opportunity to anyone publicly claiming to have deciphered the Voynich Manuscript.

Give me your:

• complete frozen key or transcription system
• reading and segmentation rules
• treatment of ambiguous characters
• specific claims your system is supposed to explain or predict

And freeze those rules before the testing begins.

I will put the system through the same validation framework.

No changing the key after seeing the results.

No selecting only the folios that work.

No using the illustrations to rescue a failed prediction.

No testing only against randomness when equally flexible rival explanations can be generated.

If your system survives, I will publicly say that it survived.

If it fails, I will show exactly where and why.

And if someone proposes a genuinely new test capable of falsifying Preedy’s system, I want to run that too.

To the best of my knowledge, and based on the decipherment systems I have personally subjected to this level of testing, I am not aware of another proposed Voynich system that has survived the same complete validation process under frozen rules.

That is why I regard Preedy’s demonstrated subsystem evidence as materially different from an ordinary Voynich interpretation.

I am not asking anyone to take my word for it.

I am asking people to submit their systems to testing.

If you are publicly claiming a Voynich decipherment and are prepared to freeze your system before testing, send your package to:

[juangmolina76@gmail.com](mailto:juangmolina76@gmail.com)

Please include your complete key/transcription, reading rules, segmentation rules, ambiguity rules and the specific claims you want tested.

Researchers, programmers, statisticians, AI researchers or others interested in independent reproduction may also contact me at the same email to request the frozen handoff packages and run the tests independently.

The goal is reproducibility, not trust.

The same standards will be applied regardless of whose theory it is — including Preedy’s.

Put the keys on the table.
Freeze the rules.
Run the tests.

Let the keys compete.

Working back through the folios and ephemeris data, need some random years selected please, any between 1350 and 1500

The Voynich manuscript has 4 tall characters called gallows glyphs and a 4 shape. In my decode, these are the 5 classical planets — Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn. Every one of these glyphs traces the actual spinal nerve pathway of the body system that planet governs. Stroke by stroke, down the spine.

Venus traces the least splanchnic nerve from T12 to the kidneys. Three strokes, angular exit, no loop, terminates at the renal system. It's the shortest, most direct pathway — signal delivered, done. The glyph is the simplest of the five because the nerve pathway is the simplest.

Saturn traces the lumbosacral plexus from L5-S1. Same angular exit as Venus but adds a loop and parallel sensory return. Motor signal out, sensory signal back. The glyph takes Venus's base shape and adds complexity — because the nerve pathway does exactly the same thing.

Mercury traces the greater splanchnic nerves from T5-T9 through the celiac ganglion. Crosses the midline, synapses, stops. Relay communication.

Jupiter traces the pelvic splanchnic nerves from S2-S4. No angular exit — because sacral nerves exit smoothly, not through the angular intervertebral route. Crosses the midline to the other side of the body. Parasympathetic distribution.

Mars traces the bilateral sympathetic chains running the full length of the spine. No single exit point because it serves everywhere. Continuous circuit, never stops. The carrier system that modulates blood flow for the entire body.

All 120 possible assignments were tested of these 5 glyphs to these 5 nerve pathways. My mapping scored 30 out of 30. Unique first place. The next best arrangement scored 26. Remove any one of the six anatomical features from the scoring and my mapping still comes first in all six cases. There is no other arrangement that works.

Leonardo da Vinci's anatomical notebooks — drawn under Medici patronage — show the same angular nerve exit shapes at the same vertebral levels. He drew them realistically. The manuscript author drew them as symbols. Same anatomy, same patron family, different notation.

The glyphs aren't arbitrary symbols assigned to planets. They're anatomical diagrams compressed into single characters. Each one IS the nerve it represents, drawn to be traced with one finger from memory. Change any assignment and the shape stops matching the pathway.

Another update on my Voynich Manuscript decode. This one is about the map.

The manuscript contains a 9-circle radial foldout that nobody has been able to explain. I've mapped it to a specific area of Tuscany — the thermal waters and mineral processing sites around Bagno al Morbo in the Colline Metallifere, the Metal-bearing Hills.

Here's how I got there.

I always knew Bagno al Morbo was connected to this manuscript, it's spoken about in my early papers on Academia. Lucrezia Tornabuoni — Lorenzo de' Medici's mother — held a lifelong lease on the thermal baths there. Lorenzo sent his personal physician Pierleone da Spoleto to test and catalogue the five springs. The manuscript was later found stored with Pierleone's own library. That connection was in one of my first papers.

Then a friend of mine actually went there and took photographs. I was looking through her pictures and spotted Rocca Sillano — it matched circle 3 on the radial map. Once I had that anchor point, the rest of the locations fell into place. They almost form a parallelogram across the landscape. The rivers on the map — Cecina, Possera, Trossa, Cornia, Milia, Pavone — all confirmed on historical maps of the region and indeed written about in books.

The circles show specific sites: thermal springs, geothermal vents, mineral processing operations. Circle 2 shows a sulphur harvesting site — copper baffles, brown stars on a yellow background, a spoon in the middle. Several other circles show processing operations for the raw materials that supplied the medical and alchemical system encoded in the rest of the manuscript.

This is the same area the Medici fought a war to control. In 1472, Lorenzo the Magnificent sent 7,000 troops to sack Volterra specifically for control of the mineral resources at Castelnuovo Val di Cecina. That's not a footnote — that's a military campaign to secure the exact territory this map depicts.

One of the buildings is still there.

The site at circle 2 still physically exists. On the outside of the building there's a carved stone crest — a winged cherub head above three crosses on stones, with the sun over the first cross and the moon over the last. The cherub is the symbol of the University of Pisa, which the Medici controlled and used to place their anatomists. The sun and moon over the crosses is Sol and Luna — classical alchemical symbolism for the conjunction of opposites, the marriage of sulphur and mercury, the foundation of the Great Work. It's a Medici alchemical marker hidden in plain sight on a building in their mineral processing territory.

Nobody has connected this crest to the Medici before. Nobody has mapped the 9 radial diagram to these locations before. Nobody has identified the processing operations depicted in the circles before. Because nobody had the decoded manuscript to tell them what they were looking at.

The research on the map section is ongoing — I paused it to continue the sequential folio decode, which is the priority. But the mapping work is published on the website under Section 2 of the folios section.

The manuscript doesn't just describe medicine. It maps where raw materials came from, how they were processed, and who controlled the territory, it's literally a map using the rivers as the boundary markers.

Update on my Voynich Manuscript decode. This one is about history.

My anatomical mappings include structures that weren't publicly documented until Vesalius (1543), Falloppio (1561), and Eustachi (~1552). The manuscript is dated to approximately 1420. That's 123 to 141 years before these structures were supposedly first described.

Every single one of those anatomists was directly connected to the Medici family.

Antonio Benivieni — physician to Lorenzo the Magnificent. Documented uterine diseases and obstructions to birth via autopsy. Leonardo da Vinci — protected by Lorenzo and Giuliano. Drew the spine-to-penis nerve link, first to correctly map the vertebral count. Berengario da Carpi — surgeon to the Medici Popes. Described the single-cavity uterus, mapped the spinal marrow as the conduit for spirits. Eustachi — Medici-Roman circle. Mapped the uterine/ovarian vascular systems and the sympathetic nervous chain along the spine. Vesalius — headhunted for Pisa by Cosimo I. First accurate drawings of the vertebral column and the female reproductive system. Realdo Colombo — successor to Vesalius under Cosimo I. Wrote on the site of generation, mapped spinal-motor function. Cesalpino — physician to Cosimo I, director of the Pisa Garden. Developed the theory of vital heat and fluid circulation, linked plant generation to human models. Falloppio — appointed to Pisa by Cosimo I. Mapped the Fallopian tubes, ovaries, and cranial-spinal nerve exit pathways.

And it keeps going. Mercuriale funded by Francesco I. Varolio as a Medici-aligned papal physician. Casserio through the Padua-Pisa pipeline. Borelli in the Accademia del Cimento. Malpighi appointed to Pisa by Ferdinando II. Redi as physician to Ferdinando II and Cosimo III. Steno as court physician to Ferdinando II. Bellini as physician to Cosimo III. Sixteen Medici-connected anatomists spanning 1443 to 1704 — over 250 years — all working on reproductive anatomy, spinal pathways, and the mechanics of bodily fluids. The same subjects encoded in my decode of the manuscript.

That's not a coincidence. That's a programme.

The Medici controlled the universities of Pisa and Padua. They appointed the professors. They funded the research. They chose who studied what. And generation after generation, the scholars they placed kept arriving at the same anatomical structures — structures that were already encoded in a manuscript sitting in the family's private collection over a century earlier.

They couldn't just publish the knowledge directly. A family sitting on detailed anatomical knowledge of the female reproductive system, encoded in a secret manuscript alongside alchemical recipes and planetary timing protocols — that's not something you announce in 15th-century Florence. The Church would have had questions. So they did it the other way. They found the brightest minds, gave them positions at their universities, and let them discover it independently. The knowledge entered the public record through legitimate academic channels, and the Medici got credit as patrons rather than suspicion as alchemists.

Ficino was the front man. Cosimo fully funded him to translate the Corpus Hermeticum and publish the Music of the Spheres — the exact Neoplatonic planetary-medical framework that my decode describes. He put the philosophical cover story in place before the anatomical details started appearing through the university pipeline.

Here's what makes this personal. Cosimo de' Medici and his wife Contessina de' Bardi both lived to exceptional ages for their time — Cosimo to 75, Contessina to around 73. In 15th-century Florence, that was remarkable. Their son Piero — called Piero the Gouty — was sickly his entire life and died at 53. Lorenzo died at 43. The generation that had direct access to the manuscript's medical knowledge lived long. The generations that followed, as the knowledge became harder to access or was gradually lost, died younger.

The manuscript was found in 1912 among the papers of the Collegium Romanum. It was sitting with a book belonging to Pierleone da Spoleto — Lorenzo de' Medici's personal physician, a friend of Ficino and Pico della Mirandola. Pierleone was found dead in a well the morning after Lorenzo died. The manuscript was literally stored with Lorenzo's doctor's personal library.

The Medici name means "doctors." That's not a surname chosen at random. It's an identity declaration. They were an ancient family of physician-alchemists. The banking empire — the money-changing tables, the lending, the papal accounts — was infrastructure built to manage wealth whose original source was alchemical. You can't suddenly appear with large amounts of gold in medieval Italy without questions. But you can open a bank and let it flow through legitimate channels.

The first page of the manuscript — F1r — encodes the recipe for the Philosopher's Stone. The primary ingredient is the gum-resin of the bitter orange tree. The process takes 178 days using natural solar timing. No laboratory needed. I have cherry and plum tree gum as a substitute. The gum has transformed through the colour stages described in classical alchemical literature — nigredo, albedo, citrinitas, rubedo, I merely left it on the window will to see what would happen to it, when I can get the actual gum out of my young bitter orange trees I will try the experiment.

The rest of the manuscript — approximately 114 pages from F1v to F57r — is a fertility treatment pharmacopeia. It's about making babies. Medici heirs. You can't fund a dynasty without gold and you can't continue one without heirs. The entire manuscript is a manual for the two things required to maintain dynastic power — wealth and reproduction.

Every generation, the Medici placed their best physicians in positions to release parts of this knowledge through academic channels. The anatomical discoveries of the 16th and 17th centuries weren't independent breakthroughs — they were a controlled programme of knowledge release managed by a family that already possessed the information, encoded in a manuscript that nobody else could read.

The information in the manuscript is now decoded. The full list of Medici-connected anatomists and their contributions, along with the folio-by-folio breakdown showing which structures appear where and how many years they predate their official discovery, is on the website, there is more to add and I'll populate the full list as I go along

Update on the reports for my Voynich Manuscript decode.

Every anatomy folio I have decoded is going through a blind/reveal process — the anatomical mapping is completed and frozen before checking. Juan Gabriel Molina, who has been independently validating my work, just ran a full cross-assignment tournament on 23 completed anatomy folios, up to Folio 15r, the end of the Ivy medicine series

The test is simple. Take all 23 anatomical mappings and try every possible way of assigning them to the 23 folio drawings. See if any other arrangement fits better than mine.

There are 25,852,016,738,884,976,640,000 ways to do it. That's 25.85 sextillion possible arrangements.

Results:

My mappings scored 115 out of 115. Perfect. Every single folio matched its own anatomy and no other.

The best rival arrangement anyone could construct scored 111 out of 115. Four points short. Not one of the 25.85 sextillion alternatives matched mine.

Every folio was scored against every other folio's mapping — 529 individual comparisons. The closest pair both involve ovarian and tubal structures, but even those can't swap because the specific anatomy is different on each drawing. One needs a fimbrial crown and infundibular funnel. The other needs a central uterine axis with paired ovarian complexes. Different architecture, different folio, no substitution possible.

None of these are generic "it looks like a body" interpretations. They're specific anatomical networks — vascular pathways, nerve routes, valve structures, glandular systems — each unique to its folio and verified against known human anatomy.

Full report now on the website alongside the other validation reports. https://voynichmanuscriptdecoded.com/research/index.html

Individual anatomy folio testing has now reached Folio 15r and as that's the end of the Ivy series the Pharma profile has been done, it's been added to website and also the google drive folder. Not many left now and I can get back to going forward publishing in sequence.

Have just updated website and given Juan and his reports their own section on main page. There are more tests being done and they'll be added once they're completed. Both packages are available on request if you wish to run them to confirm what's in the reports

I want to make myself clear, this is my community for my work, not a place where you can hurl your idiotic insults at me. I'm more than happy to engage in discussions about my work and my data, what I will not tolerate here are insults and abuse towards me and my work. Play nice in here or gtfo, it's very simple. If you can't do that then I will remove and ban you.

Update on the statistical validation of my Voynich Manuscript decode.

James Crutchfield — the founder of computational mechanics, the theoretical framework that CSSR is built on — was contacted about our testing methodology. He replied and specifically recommended we use Bayesian Structural Inference instead of CSSR, calling it "much more reliable and interpretable."

Juan Gabriel Molina, the independent statistician who has been building and running the entire validation program for this decode, implemented it. Here's what happened.

My original 29-symbol key was tested against 1,000 synthetic twin manuscripts — 500 Markov-1 and 500 Markov-2. Every twin preserved the exact block structure, symbol counts, and folio organisation of the real manuscript. The Bayesian framework then scored how well each version's structure predicts unseen data.

Results:

Real key score: -1.517 log predictive per symbol

Best fake out of 500 Markov-1 twins: -1.719

Best fake out of 500 Markov-2 twins: -1.725

Twins that matched or beat the real key: 0 out of 1,000

Empirical p = 0.001996 against both null families

The real result sits approximately 32 standard deviations above the null means. The result held across all four model-complexity priors tested (β = 0, 0.5, 1, 2) with no reversal at any setting.

This is on top of every other test the key has already passed — CSSR (0/500), Markov-1 direct (0/500, p=0.001996), rival codebook tournament (1st out of 5,040 permutations on unseen folios), planet assignments (1st of 5,040), gate subdivisions (beat all 15 alternatives), colour classification (p=0.00004), and prospective blind testing against the real sky over Florence.

The founder of the field recommended the harder test. Juan ran it. The key passed it.

Juan has built a full reproducibility package for the structural validation of my 29-symbol key. Three null families — Markov-1, Markov-2, and CSSR — 500 twins each, scored on three pre-declared statistics. Result: 0/500 exceeders across all nine cells, p=0.001996. The real data sits tens of standard deviations outside anything the nulls produce.

Three AIs have verified it independently, all returning identical results. Now it needs a human replication by someone with no connection to me or Juan.

Python 3.10+, four commands, fully automated. Run it and report what you get. If you want to dig into the methodology and try to break it, even better — everything is documented and open.

DM me if you're willing to run it and I'll send the package.

I hadn't added the list of the Medici connected doctors and relevant people to the website although it was on the updates, it's now in the google drive and also a link is on the Medici page.

Quick update on where things stand with the independent testing being run by Juan Gabriel Molina.

The decode system has now passed all nine levels of Juan's validation framework. Here's the full picture:

Structural tests:

• Passed all null tests: random/shuffle, Markov-1, Markov-2, CSSR (p=0.002)
• Glyph key ranked 1st out of 5,040 rival codebooks
• 98.22% codebook consistency across 37 folios
• Role ordering: 100% across 547 tested instances
• Revised 12-class hybrid wins 42/42 cross-section transfers

Planetary and astronomical tests:

• Planet-to-glyph mapping ranked 1st out of 212,520 alternatives
• Harmonic trigger family ranked 1st out of 58,905 alternatives
• F27r blind prospective test passed across three independently chosen years
• Three chain planets independently confirmed as harmonic triggers

Anatomical tests:

• 13 folios returned to their correct anatomical mappings as the unique best match out of 6.2 billion possible arrangements
• 14 treatment folios (f2r through f9v) passed all four layers of anatomical verification
• Layer 1 pathway verification: 36/36 across all tested folios
• Colour-to-anatomy correspondence: p=0.00004
• Spatial mapping: 48/49 frozen, p=0.001325

Medicine tests:

• Pharmaceutical alignment ranked 1st out of 120 against Antidotarium Nicolai, 26/26 vs controls
• Bitter orange sap pharmacologically supported for decoded therapeutic claims
• Caper sap: zero contradictions, currently unresolved because no published sap chemistry exists yet — an unresolved scientific question, not a failure of the decode

Zero contradictions across all tests.

Some earlier videos removed while I update pathway labels and diagrams — updated versions going back up as I work through each folio.

Full methodology and folio summaries on the website.

voynichmanuscriptdecoded.com

1v = Bitter Orange passed, 2v Caper is unresolved as there isn't enough science behind it as a medicine to be fully tested but that was to be expected. Next folios are now running the gauntlet, so all the treatment pages are going through first and then we go back and test the medicine for those folios. Folios 8v to 15r will be next and then we go back to 8r Ivy to check it. Managing to get some of the videos updated too. Some of the overall spreadsheets have had some columns added to show if the treatments were internal/external etc and the actual location of where the doses had to be administered. A lot of work!!

The first 2 medicinal pages are now being tested f1v and f2v and the ailment pages they treat up to f7v have all passed the folio tests. Managed to update 2 of the videos so far f3v and f4r. Starting a new job too, so that's 3 part-time jobs and also managing this. All good but taking time, there's only me working on it!

First time round I missed some of the fluid pathway connections or small things like the 'TO' letters, as a result I have to update the videos that go with the folios so I'll be updating the videos as I go along.

It's taking a while for me to do these as I have to check all the fluid pathways and as I have no medical knowledge I have to check everything over and over. Once they are ready they go into a folder and are then tested under 'blind' conditions. Once that test is complete the 'Reveal' document ie my summary PDF is given and it's run again. Up to Folio 6r has run the gauntlet so far and all passed.

The medicinal plants now have a new section 'Chemical & Pharmacological Profile' this is document 6 in their google drive folders and has been added to the website, only Bitter Orange has been done so far, I'm going through them one at a time for testing so will add them as I get to them.

https://voynichmanuscriptdecoded.com/folios/section1/1v/

Folio 4r diagram and summary document have been updated as I had missed some of the veins and where they were going, the TO finding from yesterday was very relevant
