Hypervector Analysis of the Voynich Manuscript

[ReneZ]

Hello Darrin,

thanks for coming back to this.

I have two comments, which I already mentioned in earlier posts. The first is very important, the second probably less.

The language vectors really are 10,000 dimensional so it's impossible to visualize in 3D before PCA. You've just got to remember the letters a-z and space are all orthogonal.  That means any given trigram will be unique in the 10K dim space.

That is right, but PCA only gives you two the first two of 10,000 dimensions, and it should then be clear that one has to be very careful about drawing conclusions from only these two dimensions.
The 3rd, 4th and 5th (and a few more) may show additional separations of similar magnitude as the first and second that are visualised.
As I already mentioned, there are clear indications that the Voynich text-related points seem to be separated in one or more of the other components.

Vector multiplication is bitwise XOR

0 0 = 0
0 1 = 1
1 0 = 1
1 1 = 0

No, that's not correct. This table is for vector addition.

Multiplication is bitwise Equivalent:
0 0 = 1
0 1 = 0
1 0 = 0
1 1 = 1
