[split] Stolfi's Core-mantle-crust model

[Mark Knowles]

Wow.

Yes read first (all commenters).
As far as I can tell, Marco is the only one who has....

To answer Mark's question: the formal grammar described by Stolfi explains 96.3% of all words in the MS.

Thanks Rene

I think is important in general when discussing properties of Voynichese to ask what percentage of Voynichese they apply to. So for example when we talk about something like glyph pair entropy these are obviously statistics pertaining to a whole set of Voynichese words and of course not necessarily all subsets of that set. So there could be a large subset of Voynichese for which the glyph pair entropy statistics are quite different. Likewise from the point of view of someone who thinks we have a mixture of nonsense text and meaningful text I think it is always helpful when discussing any patterns or structure or format or properties of Voynich text whether they are Universal or very very common or just common.
