[Article] A possible generating algorithm of the Voynich manuscript

This is what I actual said: see chapter 6 "Evidence" in You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view., p.12f. In this chapter I provide evidence that similar words depend on each other:
"A feature of the VMS is that similarly spelled glyph groups are used together on the same pages near to each other. This means, the reason why similarly written words have similar frequencies is that they appear together on the same pages. In other words, the scribe was writing similarly spelled glyph groups near to each other because they depend in some way on each other" (You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view., p. 14).

This is a property of Voynichese that I have observed, so I am not going to argue that this phenomenon happens. It does.


But immediately after this statement, your paper moves to the "text generation method" section and in this section you describe "the changes for similar glyph groups occurring near to each other".

If I were writing about the same phenomenon, I probably would have described them in terms of "differences" and "similarities". The term "changes" (and the words "removed" and "added" that you use under the illustration) describe an active conscious copy-and-modify process.

Such an active process might, in fact, account for some of the properties of the VMS (I haven't decided yet), but I also think there are other dynamics that might account for these kinds of patterns in the text. Unfortunately, it's not something I can explain in a few words, just as your paper cannot easily be summarized in a few words.
