This is the difficult part.
A human does not follow a strict pattern.
The computer can be told not to follow a strict pattern too, but the result will never be even remotely similar to the human output. They will always diverge quickly.
In that situation it is quite complicated to find indicators (extracted from the two texts) that show whether one is on the right path or not.

Creativity is a form of human thinking. And actually we still don't know and understand how humans think, what is the exact process that produces some result.
We developed AI that can mimic final results of some human creativity processes but it is almost sure that it reaches these results in a totally different way that humans do.
Take chess as an example. Computers when playing chess analyze millions of positions using minimax algorythm ( You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. ). Do people playing chess do the same? Rather not, certainly not consciously. They often rely on this blurry thing called intuition
Yet the final result is similar to a machine playing chess.I believe that if Voynich text doesn't have meaning and was generated in some way then it was generated in some semi-systematic way. Not fully systematic and not fully random, something in-between. The scribe had a set of rules and common tricks but had a freedom if he will choose Rule1, Rule2 or Rule3 at some moment and at other moments was just improvising.
Recreating it with an algorythm may be hard and even if you get something similar you can never be sure if it wasn't done another way.
But of course I am really curious to see your results!
