🔮 KST Verification Tools

Kelly Standard Transcription - Open Verification Framework

🌐 Language: English | 繁體中文

🎯 Purpose

This repository provides open verification tools for the Kelly Standard Transcription (KST) methodology applied to the Voynich Manuscript (MS 408).

Our goal: Enable independent researchers to verify our statistical claims without revealing proprietary translation mappings.

"We don't claim to have 'solved' the Voynich Manuscript. We claim to have discovered statistically significant patterns that deserve verification."

In this repo, we only ask one thing:

Given public CEVA data and our open tools, do our published statistics check out?

This is not a place to argue about "whether the decoding is correct" — it's a place to verify the numbers.

📊 Statistical Claims for Verification

Verification Protocol: Run the tool, compare your result to the "Expected" column. If they match, the claim is verified.

⚠️ Known Missing Folios

The Voynich Manuscript has 14 missing folios (28 pages) that are not included in any transcription database:

Total: 14 folios = 28 pages not in transcription data

This is consistent with the original manuscript condition at Yale Beinecke Library. Our 5,390-line count reflects all extant text — there is no "missing data" in our database; these pages simply do not exist in the physical manuscript.

🛠️ Tools Provided

🔐 Scope

This repository provides statistical verification tools only. The complete translation system remains proprietary and patent-pending.

Trans Version Priority

Priority 1: Trans H (most consistent word segmentation)
Priority 2: Trans A (variant details preserved)
Priority 3: Trans Y (backup verification)

🤝 Invitation to Verify
