I have solved the Voynich Manuscript as demonstrated via a cipher and in this video even a kid knows about letter number ciphers. What is a disgrace is you all bury it because of ego! Demo begins at 4:08 minutes about a letter number cipher.
Ego has nothing to do with it, it's all about method and results.
Your method is questionable at every stage, you haven't even proven that your designation of numbers-to-specific-VMS-glyphs is correct. If we shuffle the letters and numbers chart, we can get words out of that too, which means you haven't justified your positioning of the glyphs. You haven't even considered that some of the glyphs might be ligatures or nulls.
You haven't proven that it's Middle English either. Several forum members have gotten similar results with other languages like Latin or German.
...and of course letter-number ciphers exist, but the video you posted is completely irrelevant because it suggests using numbers as a simple substitution code. It's completely different from what you are doing...
you are using a gematria tradition, a format designed for searching out (or creating) spiritual connections between words through numbers in the days when numbers and letters were expressed with the same characters—the correspondence between numbers and letters was known by all literate people—it wasn't a code. The only "code" part of it was finding the various correspondences and being literate in the first place.
Gematria was not designed as a narrative-text encipherment method and it is not practical to decipher large blocks of text in the manner that you have illustrated. You are adding up the numbers, not doing simple substitution, and then you relate that sum to ANY word that comes to the same sum, a completely subjective process. You've admitted yourself it's a one-way cipher. There's no way to prove that the words YOU are selecting are the words intended.
If you have solved it, as you keep claiming in your books (for which you charge people money), and in your posts, then decode a full page that doesn't have any pictures. If your method is correct, you don't need the pictures.
