Discussion of Voynich MS-related theories

I'm sorry, this is not documented, but there are some examples in this thread:

While it turns Italian into Voynich look-alike text, the exact inverse operation turns Voynichese into a text that has 1st and second order entropies that are perfectly normal for Latin, Italian or German.

The process can be tuned in many different ways, and it is impossible to try them all in a straightforward manner.

It is essentially a verbose encryption, similar to the stroke encoding that was proposed many years ago by Elmar Vogt.

Much more recently I found further hints, which are too difficult to explain briefly, but which suggest that the character basic shapes (i-based or c-based) may be meaningless and rather dictated by context, and ignoring them could lead to better statistics, again in a 'verbose cipher' scenario.

Well, let's see what you can come up with. A verbose substitution cipher has been proposed by quite a number of people, including myself, but maybe you can take the idea further, we will see. Certainly I think you are thinking along the right lines.
