[split] VM text as algorithm

[Searcher]

Searcher -
Computer programs use a binary number system.

computus manualis as it is sometimes called could be described as reducing to a quinary (base-5) system, and among the other examples we have, I've always thought Stolfo's 'hand' especially interesting.

I seem to recall that one of the early researchers - was it Newbold? - posited a base-5 for the cipher text.

Diane,
actually, that was the other point. I didn't mean that the text is written in the code similar to a computer binary code or similar to You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.(quinary, as you say) cipher. Although I don't consider it seriously, but I think, hypothetically, it could be possible that the VMs is a program. I mean programming in its exact sense: to program something to perform some function, but not to be just a cipher. Speaking about medieval programming, it can't be a computer code to program a book or another thing, usually we call this magic. You probably know about the magic of talismans. On the esoteric level, it is just a programming with use of symbols, magic words and spells, in general. So, imagine that the VMs is a special nontrivial huge talisman, sealed book, which performs one or a few functions. We could suppose, only one or two pages represent some real and readable information, the rest is just a source code unappropriated for reading.
Generally speaking, it is more joke, than the serious supposition, but, if it turn out to be true, I won't be surprised.    Why could I think about this? Difficulty with deciphering, frequent repetitions of similar and same word combinations quite confuse me and get me thinking even about this
