[Article] A possible generating algorithm of the Voynich manuscript

[Torsten]

While my opinion of this work is along the same lines as Emma's, I do see that there are very interesting statistics that still lack an explanation.

More importantly, this topic is so much more worthy of discussion than the recent paper about proto-Romance.

What is your opinion based on?

I'm not sure I understand the question. My opinion is based on everything I know.

The reference back to Emma's comments does not work, because these were moved to another thread.

I'm sure that I do not understand your answer. Do you expect that we know everything you know?

Anyway, only some month ago you You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.: "I think it is almost inevitable that whoever made the Voynich MS did something unusual, even original. So proposed explanations should not be rejected just because they include something unusual or original."

– or perhaps there is no meaning to be recovered"

One result of this tests was that the generated texts must be longer than the source texts:

Basically it is a verbose substitution, with spaces re-arranged. This allows to decrease the entropy and generate the word patterns. The resulting text is longer than the Italian source by a factor between 1.5 and 2 ...

Moreover you argued that a method to generate a text must explain additional features:

There is also no explanation for the variation between Currier languages, and with this type of method, the biological text is almost inevitably nonsensical.

From what you wrote it is at least surprising that you now say that your opinion is along the same lines as Emma's. Especially since you didn't give any explanations.
