The reasoning was two-fold:
1. Speed & Accessibility: We wanted to release the findings to the community immediately for open verification, rather than waiting 12+ months for a closed process.
2. Reproducibility: Since the theory posits the text is procedural code, we felt the best form of "peer review" would be to build a parser and let people test the generative rules themselves (hence this demo).
I built this interactive parser to demonstrate a theory: the Voynich Manuscript isn't a language to be read, but procedural code to be executed.
The terminal parses the script in real-time. As you type, you'll see it decode individual morphological operators before executing the full command.
Type p: System detects "Container/Sheath" morphology.
Type pchor: System executes the full command to generate the "Vase" structure (folio 19r).
It's a proof-of-concept to show the strict grammatical logic behind the illustrations. Happy to answer questions!
