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

[RenegadeHealer]

I suppose this may be simply a pictorial representation of Stolfi's grammar? It certainly doesn't get us any further, but I throw it in anyway. I am obsessed with the notion that a few cipher wheels were used to generate the text, perhaps geared together, and perhaps with cams that rotate adjacent wheels at certain positions :-)

This is sort of what I imagine when I ask myself the question, What simple machine has the right moving parts, designed to move either independently or dependent upon each other, with the right number of degrees of freedom, to produce an output with all the properties of the VMs text? Of course I'm using the term "machine" loosely; a computer code and an equation are machines, after all.

I'm currently working on a set of cypher wheels also, and will post when I finish with it. My goal is a machine where >95% of all vords occurring in the manuscript are a possible state of the machine, and >95% of possible states of the machine occur at least once as a vord in the manuscript (high sensitivity and specificity)
