A Geometric and Compositional State Architecture in the Voynich Manuscript From Cyclic Folio Geometry and Layered Projection to Reproducible Glyph Superposition and Cross-Folio Falsification
This preprint presents a reproducible structural investigation of the Voynich Manuscript, developed through successive geometric, combinatorial, corpus-based, and constructive experiments. The research examines whether selected features of Voynich folio geometry and Voynichese glyph structure can be described by a common architecture involving cyclic addressing, discrete states, layered graphical composition, and projection. Central results include the analysis of the 4 × 17 structure of f57v, compositional glyph fields, a constructive four-register glyph experiment producing all 16 binary superposition states, and an exhaustive computational evaluation of 83,521 joint register configurations and 501,126 pair-order tests. Cross-folio relationships, alternative state sizes, corpus structure, geometric projection, and falsification criteria are also investigated. The accompanying reproducibility package contains computational scripts, machine-readable results, visual material, and documentation required to inspect and reproduce the principal experiments. This work does not claim a plaintext decipherment of the Voynich Manuscript, nor does the constructive register model by itself establish the existence of a specific historical decoding device. Instead, it presents a falsifiable structural hypothesis and distinguishes observed, mathematically derived, computed, constructed, externally tested, speculative, negative, and unresolved findings. The purpose of this release is to establish a transparent research record and enable independent replication, criticism, and falsification of the proposed structural model.
