What would settle it

  1. Text-image correspondence on the herbal pages: code plant features (root, leaf, flower types) and test whether page-first words (F-114) and topics follow them (Mantel test with planted control).
  2. Independent botanical identifications of the herbal plants (literature compilation) as external anchors for the readings.
