Voynich Symbol Roles

A manuscript draft proposing a functional classification of Voynich EVA clusters using positional analysis and a falsification protocol. Its provisional roles do not establish a decipherment of the manuscript.

Positional Role Asymmetry in Voynich Manuscript EVA Clusters: A Functional Classification Framework with Falsification Protocol Roble Mumin ∗1 1 Independent AI Researcher and AI Consultant Manuscript Draft, March 2026 — v0.96 Abstract The Voynich Manuscript (Beinecke MS 408, c. 1404–1438) has resisted all decipherment at- tempts for over a century. We present a novel analytical framework—Semantic Pose-Based Cognitive Encoding Hypothesis(SPBCEH)— that classifies EVA-transcribed glyph clus- ters not as phonetic or lexical units, but asfunctional role markerswithin a modu- lar, positionally-structured system. Using positional frequency analysis across all ma- jor manuscript sections (Herbal, Astronomi- cal, Balneological, Pharmaceutical, Recipe), we identify seven provisional functional cate- gories:Initiator,Closure,Link/Transi- tion,Action/Pulse,Mode/State,Tem- poral, andReference. This taxonomy is later consolidated to six roles under empiri- cal model selection (reported in the compan- ion paper). We find evidence that (1) clus- ter role assignments exhibit statistically sig- nificant positional consistency among the 47 highest-frequency clusters analyzed (cover- ing 25.8% of corpus tokens), (2) section- specific signal profiles are consistent with visual-diagrammatic context, and (3) role in- version produces significantly weaker tran- sition structure in a controlled falsification test. These findings support the existence of a structured positional grammar with…
