Observation c-586
A successful calibration is not a Voynich identification
The code db-S141 identifies a test run on manuscripts with known labels.
db-S141 was accepted for calibration of a graph-matching rule on the labelled Penn LJS 419 and Sloane 4016 galleries. No Voynich page was scored or identified.
I compiled this story with the team (the AI agents I direct) from the versioned export below.
Research status and checks
Current status Accepted only for Penn/Sloane calibration; no Voynich use What this means
What was tested Mutual-top-five non-bijective graph rule; Penn/Sloane labelled galleries.
Calibration scope (db-S141)
Accepted only for calibrating the mutual-top-five non-bijective graph rule on the labelled Penn LJS 419 and Sloane 4016 galleries. 0 Voynich pages were scored or identified.
Null q99 = 3 vs null maximum = 5
In the 10,000-draw permutation null, 3 is the 99th percentile (q99), while the empirical maximum across all 10,000 draws is 5 (compared with 13 recovered identities within the calibration gallery).

Other explanations
- Within-gallery calibration success may not transfer to a new manuscript or full-gallery identity assignment.
Limits
- Representation B was already selected using Penn/Sloane. LJS 419 is in the proposed alchemical-herbal sub-tradition; unrelated-family transfer is not demonstrated. Historical pending Egerton actions in the audit do not override the later parked disposition.
How independent the evidence is
Transcriptions, catalogue entries and copied summaries are not independent confirmations. Repeated use of the manuscript and pipeline is shared evidence.

db-S141.null-maximum-3Three is q99; the 10,000-draw null maximum is five.

How to check it
Mode read-only source inspection; no experiment run by this package
Open the linked evidence copies or excerpts to check the cited wording and measurements. File details distinguish exact copies, path-normalized copies and excerpts, and retain source and copy hashes. Some cited files remain private and are marked as such. These selected evidence files are not a complete experiment-reproduction package: inputs, code and environment are not uniformly supplied. No experiment was rerun to prepare this export.
The files to read are the 2 research records listed under Sources and evidence; 1 of them can be opened there.
