An explanation of the Voynich Manuscript text

[DonaldFisk]

I've provided evidence that the text of the Voynich Manuscript, ignoring the fine detail of its layout on the pages, was generated by a stochastic process.  

I'm sorry but this is not correct.

You have generated a text using a stochastic process, and you argue that this is "similar" to the Voynich MS text.
It is equally possible to generate a meaningful text that looks just like the Voynich MS text. I explained that already You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view..
This demonstrates that your argument is insufficient.

"Similar" is just not sufficiently well defined.

Specifically, the only thing that's similar between your text and the Voynich MS is the word structure.
That is completely unrelated to the meaning of the text.

An interesting test would be to check for repeating word sequences. This can be predicted with statistics, in principle, but also checked using software that some people have already available.

I carried out this test, and confirmed that words in the manuscript are independent of the previous word (see You are not allowed to view links.
