Like Lego or Like Tetris, what comes to mind is the idea of something artificially constructed or that is being built following logical principles. It's a lot like William Friedman's conclusion about Voynich as a universal synthetic language.
I think that not much attention has been paid to this conclusion by one of the great VM researchers of the 20th century. Although it is an anachronistic idea for the fifteenth century, it has the virtue of enhancing the value of glyphs as semantic units by themselves.
Friedman believed in a linguistic solution. I think it is an iconic system, with glyphs that are astronomical-astrological symbols structured following a logic.
