I was rather expecting something like this, because reasonably high-frequency single characters are converted to tri-grams, and they will dominate the tri-gram statistics, on which the analysis is based...
I would have expected it to be somewhere between the other Voynichese transliterations and Latin, but it is not surprising that distances are not preserved when the dimensions are reduced to only two by PCA.
A question for Darrin:
Does "Languages which are similar will have hypervectors close together" mean that a high enough proportion of exactly matching letter tri-grams is needed? I'm just trying to understand what is being compared. After a rotation (like rot13) or any permutation of the alphabet of a single language sample text, will this text be placed differently on the PCA plot?
