Hypervector Analysis of the Voynich Manuscript

[Alin_J]

No, the theory is correct, really. One should not think of the 0's and 1's as real numbers, and the correlation is not computed in the way that we would normally expect.

Yeah, I forgot one thing, that the PCA procedure should automatically center the data around 0. That is, the mean component value is subtracted from each vector. That will leave the vectors having components either -0.5 or 0.5. So, yeah in that case it should all make sense mathematically.   (but the description in the beginning didn't cover that part).
