Discussion of "A possible generating algorithm of the Voynich manuscript"

[Torsten]

What I noticed, the word frequency in the "self-citation text generator" has a different course than in the VMS (Top 30).

Our goal was to demonstrate that even a simple implementation of the algorithm reproduces some of the statistical key properties of the Voynich manuscript. This is what we say: "... it is possible to pinpoint quantitative differences between the real VMS and the used facsimile text (most likely any facsimile text). ... We deliberately did not fine tune the algorithm to pick an 'optimal' sample for this presentation."


It is interesting to compare the frequencies for Currier A and Currier B. This is the result:

Did you use numbers for the whole VMS or for the VMS without labels? For the whole VMS I would expect 836 [daiin]-tokens, 537 [ol]-tokens, 501 [chedy]-tokens etc.
