Hello Emma,
please download the app. The app also contains a short intro and you can search for similar words within the VMS.
The purpose of the app is to demonstrate that with the Auto Copying Hypothesis it is possible to generate a text with features similar to that of the VMS. After I have published the source code you can judge about the hardcoded word generation rules.
For the explanation why the rules exist see my paper "How the Voynich Manuscript was created" (see You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.).
There are two main reasons. First, in the VMS similar spelled types co-occur (see You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.: p. 3-5) or the paper of Montemurro and Zanette [You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.]. Second, they occur with similar frequency whereas words, which contain less frequent bigrams, also occur less frequently (see the grid You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. p. 66 - 82). With other words similar words are related to each other.
