Pre-registration: two tests of the Book of Soyga's construction key (spans of life in Sections 3-4; the Voynich manuscript)

Pre-registration, written and sealed on 16 October 2026 before either test was run on real data. Two tests of the construction key of the Book of Soyga (Teker 2026, preprint, code and data: doi:10.5281/zenodo.23329227): Test A. Do the day-by-day spans of life of Sections 3–4 (Kupin 2014) come from the letters of the sign’s square, through a pre-defined family of rules using the Section 18 letter values? The whole family is refitted to 1000 permutations of the ages; supported if p < 0.01. Test B. Does the paragraph text of the Voynich manuscript (Zandbergen–Landini v3b; Takahashi as secondary) carry the map-free signature of the Soyga generator: first lines determined by the preceding symbol (D1), later lines by the symbol above and the symbol before (D2)? Supported only if D1 and D2 are both at least 0.70 and above the 99th percentile of their nulls. What was seen before writing is stated in the document. Outcomes are accepted in advance and will be reported whatever they show.

Abstract

Pre-registration, written and sealed on 16 October 2026 before either test was run on real data. Two tests of the construction key of the Book of Soyga (Teker 2026, preprint, code and data: doi:10.5281/zenodo.23329227): Test A. Do the day-by-day spans of life of Sections 3–4 (Kupin 2014) come from the letters of the sign’s square, through a pre-defined family of rules using the Section 18 letter values? The whole family is refitted to 1000 permutations of the ages; supported if p < 0.01. Test B. Does the paragraph text of the Voynich manuscript (Zandbergen–Landini v3b; Takahashi as secondary) carry the map-free signature of the Soyga generator: first lines determined by the preceding symbol (D1), later lines by the symbol above and the symbol before (D2)? Supported only if D1 and D2 are both at least 0.70 and above the 99th percentile of their nulls. What was seen before writing is stated in the document. Outcomes are accepted in advance and will be reported whatever they show.
