I honestly debated tagging this as "Show HN", but I didn't want to get flagged for not having a GitHub repo attached.
However, this is an algorithm you can "play with". You don't need a compiler. You just need the EVA text and the illustrations. They act as the input and output of a 15th-century procedural generation system.
- Instruction: "Generate a Core that is a Container."
Output (Visual): The plant on f19r literally grows out of a man-made Vase.
- The manuscript isn't describing a plant; it's executing a script to build one. The paper details the grammar and validates it against key illustrations.
Happy to answer any technical questions about the logic.

Try running this snippet in your head:
- Input: pchor (Found on f19r)
- Decompilation: p- (Container/Sheath context) + chor (Core structure)
- Instruction: "Generate a Core that is a Container." Output (Visual): The plant on f19r literally grows out of a man-made Vase.
