Thread  "[Article] A possible generating algorithm of the Voynich manuscript"

The tool is used to demonstrate that by using this method it is possible to reproduce the statistical key properties of the Voynich manuscript.

At least the word lengths seem to differ from the VMS ( You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view., Figure 3  ). The "self-citation text generator" does not produce text with the "bell-like" curve as in the VMS.

1) You compare a bar chart with a line chart. This doesn't make sense.

2) The relevant chart for the token length distribution at stolfis page is "Figure 1 - Token length distributions"

3) See page 2: "We use the algorithm to create a 'facsimile' of the VMS 'Recipes' section."

4) See page 15: "The line is a Gaussian fit with mean 5.73 and width 3.02. The corresponding values for the VMS 'Recipes' section are 6.09 and 3.30, respectively."

5) Please, read the paper.
