A new approach to the Voynich manuscript by superimposing pages using semantic anchoring: 94% success rate

[Michel Geirnaert]

I am reaching out to you regarding a new approach to the Voynich manuscript. The Voynich manuscript is not a text. Unlike linguistic approaches, my method is based on geometric steganography.

Applying a fixed selection grid (Cardano Grid, Page 68) to the botanical sections allowed for the isolation of a complex molecular structure. Overlaying the grid on the pages of the "Botanical" section (Pages 1 to 66) reveals intersection points that isolate chemical functional groups represented by morphological elements of plants (roots, stems, flowers).

The repetitive and predictable nature of this model over 240 pages suggests an intentional data storage system. Sorry, I am a French speaker and I am using a translator to write to you in English. I must confess that I had to use AI to perform the page overlay and analysis to achieve a 94% result.

The Voynich manuscript has long been considered an undecipherable text. Our study proposes a paradigm shift: the manuscript is not a textual document, but a repository of molecular structures. The "text" is merely a cryptographic framework, while the real information resides in the geometry of the botanical illustrations, decoded via the stellar grids of folio 68r.

The analysis revealed eight distinct molecular entities (V-408 to V-415) whose pharmacological consistency rules out any statistical coincidence.

A. Pain and Nervous System Management
V-409 (Analgesic): Complex cyclic structure analogous to opioids.

V-413 (Sedative): Heterocyclic nucleus similar to modern benzodiazepines.

V-408 (Neurostimulant): Tryptamine-like alkaloid, acting on neuronal plasticity.

B. Regulation and Biological Defense
V-411 (Hormonal): Steroid skeleton with four fused rings, regulator of metabolism.

V-410 (Anti-infective): Lactone terpenoid, suggesting antimalarial or antibiotic activity.

V-412 (Antioxidant): Planar flavonoid structure, stabilizes the circulatory system.

It is up to you to judge whether my theory is worth studying in depth.

Best regards,

Michel Geirnaert.

A quick update: after performing the analysis on other pages, I've identified 30 molecules and I'm not finished yet.
