Descriptive Opener-Class Structure in the Voynich Manuscript Balneological Section (f75r–f84v)

This successor retains the twenty-folio count table and four-zone description and adds the missing tie-sensitivity replay. Two folios are tied: f78r at q=11 and s=11, and f79r at q=10 and s=10. Across all four admissible tie resolutions, $G$ ranges from 11 to 13 and the one-sided Monte Carlo permutation value ranges from 0.00048 to 0.02284 at 100,000 trials per configuration. The uniform-label null is therefore rejected at 0.05 under every tie resolution. This does not distinguish the proposed regimen from a another topically structured arrangement. The s-to-q-to-o-to-s treatment sequence remains Candidate and lacks an independent period-source witness. The balneological section of the Voynich Manuscript (f75r–f84v, 20 folios) has been read as bathing imagery, gynecological imagery, or an alchemical process. This paper reports a class-opener extraction over the identified IVTFF file and evaluates a four-zone rule defined in the Methods. Under the alphabetical tie rule, the script records G=13/20 against a 10,000-shuffle null (mean 6.13, SD 1.93, corrected one-sided empirical p=0.0007). The observed dominant-class sequence is: Zone 1, three s-dominant and one o-dominant folio; Zone 2, six q-dominant folios; Zone 3, three o-, two q-, and one p-dominant folio; Zone 4, one s-dominant folio followed by three q-dominant folios. These are script outputs under the internal class labels, not plaintext meanings. The f79v midpoint description and its figure labels come from the internal image audit and remain descriptive. A former working-note claim that Conciliator labels occur on all 20 folios is not retained. This packet contains no exported query receipt, detection threshold, or off-section base rate for that claim; P-004 and the Paduan dataset are program-context and priority references only. The partial image taxonomy assigns 12 of 20 folios to COMMUNAL POOL, CASE ENTRY, or CATALOG ROW categories and leaves eight unbucketed. The s→q→o→s phase interpretation is an internal workflow hypothesis situated in P-009's corridor context, pending an off-section baseline and an independent medieval-source locus for the proposed order.

Abstract

This successor retains the twenty-folio count table and four-zone description and adds the missing tie-sensitivity replay. Two folios are tied: f78r at q=11 and s=11, and f79r at q=10 and s=10. Across all four admissible tie resolutions, $G$ ranges from 11 to 13 and the one-sided Monte Carlo permutation value ranges from 0.00048 to 0.02284 at 100,000 trials per configuration. The uniform-label null is therefore rejected at 0.05 under every tie resolution. This does not distinguish the proposed regimen from a another topically structured arrangement. The s-to-q-to-o-to-s treatment sequence remains Candidate and lacks an independent period-source witness. The balneological section of the Voynich Manuscript (f75r–f84v, 20 folios) has been read as bathing imagery, gynecological imagery, or an alchemical process. This paper reports a class-opener extraction over the identified IVTFF file and evaluates a four-zone rule defined in the Methods. Under the alphabetical tie rule, the script records G=13/20 against a 10,000-shuffle null (mean 6.13, SD 1.93, corrected one-sided empirical p=0.0007). The observed dominant-class sequence is: Zone 1, three s-dominant and one o-dominant folio; Zone 2, six q-dominant folios; Zone 3, three o-, two q-, and one p-dominant folio; Zone 4, one s-dominant folio followed by three q-dominant folios. These are script outputs under the internal class labels, not plaintext meanings. The f79v midpoint description and its figure labels come from the internal image audit and remain descriptive. A former working-note claim that Conciliator labels occur on all 20 folios is not retained. This packet contains no exported query receipt, detection threshold, or off-section base rate for that claim; P-004 and the Paduan dataset are program-context and priority references only.
