Is the VM an autograph or copy?

[bi3mw]

All of this, of course, if the VMS was meant to be readable. I have seen so far many reasonings why VMS would not be readable or a hoax, none of them so far convincing. But then again, nothing in VMS is truly convincing. I believe it has a meaning, and not just an intellectual exercise, which is left to the readers.

On the question of whether the VMS makes sense or not, I can only repeat myself at this point. I think if you consider the effort that was spent on the creation of the VMS, then you have to assume that it makes sense. If it were only a few lines of code, then it would be also conceivable that it concerns a hoax. With a whole codex the thing looks however different. What is quite possible is that the content should only be accessible to an "exclusive" group of readers. That is, anyone without the necessary prior knowledge of the writing system should be excluded from the outset. So it was not about the distribution of information / knowledge to everyone who could read but about the transmission from insiders to insiders. The complete absence of any plain text (annotations, marginal notes and so on) reinforces this assumption.
