The 'No-Tech' Build

[Koen G]

I've been thinking a lot lately about the mindset that underlies the images, and how that would translate to the text.

In my opinion, the images are:
- artificially layered
- intelligently crafted
- packed with meaning

If those three are true for the text, I would be very pleased. So far, we might only suppose the second to be true: the text or at least the writing system appears to be intelligently crafted. I also believe it is artificial, in that it probably did not organically evolve over time.

If it were layered, though, wouldn't we expect more entropy instead of less? I've thought about it, but I don't see how approaching the text as an artificially layered construct can solve any problem.

On the other hand though, I see one principle shared by the text and part of the imagery, and that is exactly low entropy, predictability. If artificial intelligence would generate the average "Voynich nymph", I have a pretty good idea what it would look like, because their appearance and poses are relatively predictable.
