[Article] Topic Modeling in the Voynich Manuscript
#10
Thank you very much MarcusP.  You have certainly cleared up my questions, and given much food for thought. We seem to be able to derive so much statistical data from the text, but so few conclusions.

I did join the recent webinar and by Twitter afterwards asked Claire if a numerical cipher might change entropy.  She said not normal substitution, but I asked if something a bit more complex might work.  So say o was 1, but ox was 14, and or, 15. She seemed to think this might be better but the convo ended.

That maybe would help with the repeats. Daiin, for instance, might be 22, equal to some letter, say T, so Daiin Daiin would just be TT in the middle of a word.

But I'm spinning wheels here because I really can't keep up with the specifics of ciphers or the word structure patterns, though I like to try to achieve a broad understanding of the new studies, so that in my imagery analysis I might recognize patterns related to the text if they happen to show up.  You've helped so thanks again!
