Transition Grammar and Cognitive Domain Profiles in the Voynich Manuscript: Evidence for a Functional Recording System from Six-Role Cluster Analysis Roble Mumin ∗1 1 Independent AI Researcher and AI Consultant Manuscript Draft, March 2026 — v0.98 Abstract Building on the functional cluster classifica- tion established in Mumin (2026a), we ex- tend a six-role taxonomy—derived from the original seven-role framework through an em- pirical model selection process—to character- ize the transition grammar and domain struc- ture of the Voynich Manuscript. The six roles (R1 Initiator-like, R2 Closure-like, R3 Link-like, R4 Content, R5 Temporal-like, R6 Reference-like) are defined entirely by transi- tion statistics and positional behavior among the highest-frequency clusters (25.8% of cor- pus tokens; 47 classified clusters) 1 ; the sin- gle strongest structural signal is the R2→R1 transition (z= +9.71vs. 1,000 shuffled baselines), which anchors the packet gram- mar. At paragraph level, 61.3% of role transitions conform to a finite-state packet grammar (prospectively specified threshold: 60%), a result consistent with—but not con- clusive evidence for—a packet-level gram- mar. Entropy decomposition supports the dual-channel prediction: role-sequence en- tropyH(structural) = 2.38bits is lower than within-role cluster entropyH(variant) = 2.77 bits. Section-specific role profiles differ sig- nificantly across all eight manuscript sec- tions (Kruskal-Wallis,k= 7tests, allp < 0.0001;…
