How to recombine glyphs to increase character entropy?

[MarcoP]

Another thing I should add is that when looking at the difference between h2 with and without spaces, the VM is in the first half. This means that most texts actually gain more character entropy than the VM does when removing spaces. My intuition would expect the opposite.

My guess is that this could be due to last-first combinations across words.
For intance, in Voynichese -y words are often followed by q- words. If you remove spaces, you create a number of new 'yq' bigrams: many identical bigrams lower bigram entropy. I thought of this as an explanation for why Q13 has a lower h2/h1 increase than Herbal-A: it could be due to the fact that last-first combinations are stronger in B-dialects than in A.

I guess that very few texts (if any) will have such a strong last-first correlation as the VMS: the results of removing spaces are less predictable, hence more entropy is generated.
