A Candidate Decipherment of the Voynich Manuscript: Evidence for a Spoken Elu-Sinhala Pharmaceutical Register (V6)

Version 6 of the candidate decipherment of the Voynich Manuscript as a 15th-century Sri Lankan Elu-Sinhala pharmaceutical compendium. V6 is a major expansion: every major section now has an exhaustive folio-level analysis, the pharmaceutical calendar is confirmed by three independent evidence streams, and function particle resolution improves 1,636 tokens. Includes: complete Wijeratne dissertation grounding (W1–W5 all confirmed); rival-language tournament (Arabic/Tibetan/Tamil all 0.5%, 95× below Sri Lankan baseline); BALNEO exhaustive analysis (f75r as formal sneha-karma chapter intro, pool color = drug vehicle encoding); COSMO exhaustive analysis (28-oval wheel, star-shape transition, zodiac 6/12 rāśi = 6-month pharmaceutical window); Rosette full decode; PHARMA exhaustive analysis (agada-tantra boundary, mineral pairs); pharmaceutical calendar cross-reference (bimodal Māghā/Śrāvaṇa, makha+makhea = 34 BALNEO tokens = peak execution window); RECIPE BM parallel (91% chapter accountability, 30 formula clusters); HERBAL exhaustive (98/110 proposed IDs, 29 HIGH-confidence). All claims tiered; Match 16 retracted after DB audit. Team B audit passed. Supplementary zip includes 9 new analysis files and V6 reviewer blind challenge (54 lines, 6 sections).

Abstract

Version 6 of the candidate decipherment of the Voynich Manuscript as a 15th-century Sri Lankan Elu-Sinhala pharmaceutical compendium. V6 is a major expansion: every major section now has an exhaustive folio-level analysis, the pharmaceutical calendar is confirmed by three independent evidence streams, and function particle resolution improves 1,636 tokens. Includes: complete Wijeratne dissertation grounding (W1–W5 all confirmed); rival-language tournament (Arabic/Tibetan/Tamil all 0.5%, 95× below Sri Lankan baseline); BALNEO exhaustive analysis (f75r as formal sneha-karma chapter intro, pool color = drug vehicle encoding); COSMO exhaustive analysis (28-oval wheel, star-shape transition, zodiac 6/12 rāśi = 6-month pharmaceutical window); Rosette full decode; PHARMA exhaustive analysis (agada-tantra boundary, mineral pairs); pharmaceutical calendar cross-reference (bimodal Māghā/Śrāvaṇa, makha+makhea = 34 BALNEO tokens = peak execution window); RECIPE BM parallel (91% chapter accountability, 30 formula clusters); HERBAL exhaustive (98/110 proposed IDs, 29 HIGH-confidence). All claims tiered; Match 16 retracted after DB audit. Team B audit passed. Supplementary zip includes 9 new analysis files and V6 reviewer blind challenge (54 lines, 6 sections).
