Statement: IF Voynichese does not represent natural language...
#2
A fine point...

I've often said that VMS differs from natural language in a number of structural details. But... that does not necessarily mean that natural language does not underlie it in some way. If it were a numeric cipher, for example (I'm not talking about simple substitution, but about something that needs to be processed), the text would not be structured like natural language, but it MIGHT ultimately translate into letters (which in turn, might be natural language).

I'm not sure how that distinction can be simply stated or integrated into what you have proposed, but I thought it was important enough to mention.
