V74 maps all eleven local relations into nine connected components
GDT701/V74 compiles the unchanged C001–C011 relation register into nine occurrence-bound components over the same 51 lines and 479 positions: seven single-edge components, one repeated-destination fanout, and one serial action-output chain. The atlas accounts for all 23 unique edge nodes and 25 incidences exactly once. It keeps
aiin#2 in M008 andchedy#5 in M009 hull-only;dy#7 is the sole render-only structural position. All 17 held rivals and 27 reference decisions remain unchanged. V74 adds no edge, participant identity, word meaning, page, plaintext, language, portable rule, or named final result; all 479 token glosses, 51 line translations, and three bound spans remain unchanged. The dictionary presents the current 320-form/332-pair V74 overlay—with 11 relations on 19 forms and all nine components—separately from the historical 1,430-form V48 glossary. Confirmed Voynich words and plaintext clauses remain zero.
Earlier updates
-
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 toykain#3 at f86v5.24, and two outside-family controls stayed held. The adjacentaiin#2 remained separately unbound. V72 is retained as historical evidence behind V73 and the current V74 atlas. -
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
qolat f77r.38#9 remained open. It added no relation or word meaning and remains historical evidence behind V72–V74. -
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–V74 chain, not a recovered text.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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
randdused 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. -
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/dexplanation opened on demand. The 556-group glossary and 678-row technical table were available as complete downloads. -
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. -
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Raw text and interpretation, line by line
Every raw group became visible by default, with technical evidence kept optional.
-
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.
-
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.
