[split] Why the VMS text is meaningful or meaningless?
#22
Quote:Imagine a scenario where the VM is the 100th book this person has filled with gibberish language. It has become his second nature to make it look and feel like normal language and the words pour out as his pen flies across the vellum. Basically, the writer is already very well trained in writing Voynichese, and through the years it has become what it is now.

This would mean that the text is utterly meaningless, but no schemes or procedures have been used at all.

Codex Seraphinianus of 15th century? Smile  Why not. But random text generation (and "words pouring out" is just that) also falls under my notion of the "procedure".

Quote:It may be possible, with enough patience and knowledge, to write a program or procedure that does the same for Latin for example.

Here the key limitation is that the procedure should be compatible with 15th century level of productive forces (knowledge, technology, machinery...)
