The Quevedo Protocol Reconciling Linguistic Input with Mechanical Output in Voynich MS 408 via the Syntaxis Volvel

Description

Contact: stevendistinto@gmail.com

This comprehensive forensic reconstruction reclassifies the Voynich Manuscript (MS 408) as a 15th-century industrial logbook generated by a hardware-constrained device termed the Syntaxis Volvella. By isolating the 0.02 Jaccard Anomaly and the mechanical Gallow-Lock mechanism, this research provides a falsifiable framework that reconciles mechanical telemetry with Macaronic Latin lexical mapping. Anchored in the Cappelli Standard and rigorous structural validation, the study establishes the manuscript as the world's first industrial algorithm, successfully reverse-engineering a legacy of Renaissance engineering.

The framework is based on:

  • The Consortium Synthesis: Topological Constraints & Mechanical Output in MS 408 by Noam Cohen.
  • STRUCTURAL VALIDATION PACKET: A Methodological Stress Test of the Quevedo Protocol by Andre Jason Watts.
