New Voynich theory: a symbolic operator system? - Paul Ferguson - 09-12-2025

"My main premise is that the Voynich is not a ciphered natural language or random nonsense. Instead, it functions as a symbolic operator system — a structured framework of actions and processes, encoded in both glyphs and imagery. Rather than treating the text as phonetic writing, I approach it as a grammar of symbolic functions (operators). This means the glyphs are not “letters” in the traditional sense, but instructions that align with alchemical, cosmological, and Hermetic tradition."
