[Article] A possible generating algorithm of the Voynich manuscript

[Torsten]

The reference to the network graph was the answer to your question "which percentage of words is a modification with edit distance 1 of a recent word, for different definitions of 'recent'."

It is only relevant if "recent" is defined as "on the same page". For Figure 4 (page 8) is the distance in lines counted across pages in the order that they appear in the (TT) transcription or inside pages only?

They are counted across pages in the order as they appear in the transcription. It is therefore visible that pages in Currier B (a) contain more text then pages in Currier A (b). It is also visible that words in Currier B are on average longer then in Currier A (see also graph 18 in You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view., p. 28). This means that the effect is smaller than otherwise and that it would be possible to improve the significance of the graph. Nevertheless, the graph is already of high significance anyway.
