Statistical comparision of Voynich transliteration with common alphabets
#6
That's the first time I've seen the V101 character assignments. I find it quite weird. It doesn't seem to bear any relationship to how they did things in the Middle Ages.

Also, as a computer programmer, I guess I look at things differently. If you assign things in certain ways, they are flexible, they can be aggregated or taken apart. If you assign things in other ways, they are rigid, and statistical studies are more complicated or more difficult. The V101 assignments do not strike me as being very flexible.

There's a good reason why simple ones and zeroes work well in the computer environments. Some of those concepts also apply to creating transcriptions that are not too deeply anchored in a specific system, that can be generalized and shaked and baked in a variety of ways.

That doesn't mean that computational attacks are the only way to look at the VMS, but some of the concepts that apply to computers apply to the human brain, as well. Some systems are easier to shuffle in the brain than others and if the assignments are too rigid, it can hinder that process.
