I like the title of the article "A possible generating algorithm..." but I don't agree with the emphasis on meaningless "self-citation". Isn't it an argument from ignorance to assume that only meaningless "self-citation" is possible or probable to account for these findings? They could be explained as well by the rule of least effort in a cipher where each vord (Voynichese word) is chosen among many possibilities and reusing a vord with little or no modification is quicker than generating a completely different vord from scratch. (Exactly the type of cipher that I have been studying since 2017.)

I don't know about such an argumentation. Which statement are you referring to?
