The Cardan grille approach to the Voynich MS taken to the next level

[ReneZ]

I also don't understand this comment.

Let me explain it differently.



Stolfis grammar describes dependent choices. It must therefore be possible to choose between different wheels for each position.



Stolfis grammar also describes optional rules. Therefore the number of wheels has to be variable.

Wheels can have empty cells. It is the case for the example in Figure 1.

On the first point, the observed dependency can come from different word frequencies in the plain text.
Also, certain groupings can be together on a single wheel.

It is exactly this search for groups, preferred combinations, forbidden combinations, that this paper might usefully lead to.
