  1. Source update

    GDT759 licenses 17 observed two-word constructions at 122 exact spans

    GDT759 is an additive research layer on the unchanged GDT734/V99R7 reader basis—not a newly numbered reader edition. Its fixed 26-pair deck licenses only 17 observed types: 96 quantity/value, 23 plant-part/state, and 3 preparation/value spans. Seven fully normalized cases bridge fused and separated reader boundaries. Four fused s-value forms are revised across 145 occurrences, and all 154 exact s occurrences retain a context dispatch. The leading s aiin/saiin candidate is “drei Drachmen,” with “drei gleiche Teile” and “drei Unzen” kept as rivals; the inherited seed family is quarantined. odol remains “abgemessene Zubereitung,” while ols becomes the C0 candidate “abgeseihte Zubereitung.” Only one of the 13 ychor lines changes. All 805 registered checks pass. Confirmed lexemes, historical units, plaintext clauses, free component values, and new pages remain 0.

Earlier updates
  1. Source update

    GDT758 audited eleven complete ychor follower forms

    GDT758 remains the immediate evidence layer behind GDT759. It audited 11 complete forms across 1,141 reader-exact occurrences in 907 loci on 175 cached pages and revised 23 of 71 body-token proposals on 13 exact ychor lines. Its eight exact-span rules and 206 passing checks remain reproducible; GDT759 now supersedes the global s fallback with a context dispatch and changes one of those thirteen lines.

  2. Source update

    V75 adds one exact written result to the existing M002 chain

    GDT702/V75 is retained as a historical selected-page relation experiment. It checks the first semantic entry after every complete C001–C011 target action: seven nominal blocks, three following actions, and one line end. Only f105v.1 passes the fixed local gate. C012 links ykaiin #4 to the immediately written olpchedy #5 result-state label at B-working-local tier, extending M002 to olpcheey #3 → ykaiin #4 → olpchedy #5. Its frozen 51-line, 479-position atlas has 12 edges in nine components and adds no portable word meaning, plaintext, page, or language claim.

  3. Source update

    V74 mapped eleven inherited relations into nine components

    GDT701/V74 assigned C001–C011 exactly once across nine occurrence-bound components, 23 unique edge nodes and 25 incidences. It added no edge or meaning. V75 preserves that atlas, extends only M002 with C012 and keeps the historical V74 tables available in the guide.

  4. Source update

    V72 added one occurrence-bound YKA-II heat edge—and left AIIN unbound

    GDT699/V72 fixed a five-case heat-reference deck: two YKA-III prototypes replayed their existing relations, C010 linked oar #1 to ykain #3 at f86v5.24, and two outside-family controls stayed held. The adjacent aiin #2 remained separately unbound. V72 is retained as historical evidence behind V73–V75.

  5. Source update

    V71 found no cross-occurrence frame transfer—and kept one participant open

    GDT697/V70 composed the nine inherited V69 occurrence edges into seven minimal windows across 19 positions. GDT698/V71 then scanned all ten occurrences of their six action surfaces: nine exact templates matched only their original bound occurrences, while qol at f77r.38#9 remained open. It added no relation or word meaning and remains historical evidence behind V72–V75.

  6. Source update

    V65 composed the O/Q fraction-sister family

    GDT692’s historical V65 compositor kept the same 51 lines and 479 positions on 36 already admitted pages. Nine bounded pieces replayed 16 exact sister surfaces at 41 occurrences and changed 32 positions while preserving the selected 30-page reader, GDT672 f1r, V48, and the zero-plaintext boundary. V65 remains the direct historical input to the current V66–V75 chain, not a recovered text.

  7. Source update

    V64 separated preparation roles in a practical renderer

    GDT691’s historical V64 renderer classified 140 preparation mentions as 49 heads, 34 compound heads, 35 context relations, 15 source relations, and 7 quantity objects. Its 54 exact rules changed 77 of the same 479 positions while preserving all 113 action ordinals. V64 is retained as direct evidence for V65, not as the current experiment or recovered text; it opened no page and changed neither the selected 30-page reader nor GDT672/V48.

  8. Source update

    A new working reading for f1r

    GDT672 gives each of the 28 lines on f1r a cautious experimental reading. All 214 copied groups remain visible: 129 directly reuse a V48 card. The other 85 use local cards made for this page—54 composed from existing parts, 23 learned as whole forms, and eight tied to one occurrence. Seventeen quantity links are stated explicitly, and no group is left without a card. The copied page and all other page readers are unchanged. The prose still uses 85 broad carrier terms, so substantial uncertainty remains visible. This is a working proposal, not plaintext or a translation.

  9. Source update

    The separate working model advances to V48

    GDT671 assigns provisional cards to 24,159 of 32,339 positions in the transcription and leaves 8,180 open. In this model, 1,242 lines with several groups have no blanks; 318 also pass its stricter check. Its files contain 1,430 glossary forms, 2,115 technical dictionary rows, and 56 proposed roles. V48 does not change the copied text or the other page readers, and it identifies no language, sound system, plaintext, plant, or ingredient.

  10. Source update

    Separate experimental model extended to V38

    The separate material-pattern model advanced to V38. GDT661 assigned provisional cards at 872 previously open positions in the Latin-letter transcription. Forty-six cards applied only to an exact complete group; standalone r and d used context-specific readings instead of universal meanings. The model filled 18,451 of 32,339 positions and left 13,888 open. It had 233 lines with several groups and no model blanks, 99 under its stricter internal filter. These were not confirmed words or translations, and the complete reader for the 30 selected pages remained unchanged.

  11. Presentation

    V38 explained without changing the page reader

    The writer’s guide kept the experiment separate from the complete 30-page view. A short summary stayed visible; six recurring examples and the context-specific r/d explanation opened on demand. The 556-group glossary and 678-row technical table were available as complete downloads.

  12. Source update

    GDT650 material-model snapshot

    V27 filled 14,617 of 32,339 transcription positions with working proposals and left 17,722 open. The model was later revised and extended through GDT661; GDT651 replaced the three sheckh… readings.

  13. Source update

    Five historical herbal source pairs checked

    Two independent readers and a separate reconciliation checked five paired entries from two historical herbal manuscripts. The pairs supply concrete fields for a later comparison. The earlier synthetic decoder path was closed because its constraints could not be satisfied. No Voynich target page was opened, and confirmed Voynich words and plaintext clauses remained zero.

  14. Source update

    Six-page reader; next test registered

    GDT599 supplied working proposals for 313 paragraphs on six pages, while the other 480 paragraphs retained GDT594 and all 744 local cards retained GDT589.

  15. Presentation

    Complete raw paragraphs beside their interpretation

    Every raw group remains visible by default. Each complete raw paragraph now sits directly beside its complete current interpretation, so the two can be compared without scrolling between separate sections. Technical source wording and alternatives remain available below each pair.

  16. Source update

    Complete GDT594 and GDT589 readers

    GDT594 supplied all 793 running paragraphs, while GDT589 supplied all 744 local cards. The later composite reader retains GDT594 on 480 paragraphs.

  17. Presentation

    Raw text and interpretation, line by line

    Every raw group became visible by default, with technical evidence kept optional.

  18. Source update

    GDT562 thirty-page edition

    Four pages brought the selected-page view to 30 pages and 5,866 groups. The state-card layer also separated 687 complete working operations from 19 narrower roles. No word or plaintext sentence was confirmed.

  19. Source update

    Working structures for all earlier local groups

    GDT513 completed the separately labelled local layer for the earlier 26 pages: 183 groups in 135 short records, 501 component defaults, and nine section markers. No word or sentence was confirmed.

    Four pages and 657 groups were added without establishing a reusable sign meaning or plaintext.

  29. Source update

    Pass 1002 separates repeated proposals from page context

    Repeated proposed component meanings were separated from interpretations that depend on nearby drawings.

  30. Source update

    Pass 996 becomes the creative edition

    This pass introduced a 159-part component key, 70 proposed combinations, and readings for 2,511 groups.
