This research aims to identify structural elements in the Voynich Manuscript and test hypotheses regarding its content and classification.
Conducted a pre-registered hypothesis-testing investigation using the Brain-V cognitive architecture.
Tested over fifty hypotheses with falsifiable thresholds before execution.
Utilized cross-validation to validate findings and a classifier for scribe-content identification.
Identified a specific Hand-A plant-folio marker with significant corpus-wide enrichment.
Established that Hand-A and Hand-B markers show zero stem overlap.
Achieved 74.2% accuracy in classifying (scribe, content-type) across six classes.
