How to recombine glyphs to increase character entropy?
#35
I don't understand anything about the peculiarities of this kind of analysis of statistical data and I don't know how to make such beautiful tables and graphs, but I still would like to know more about it, so I'll ask one more question. Would an analysis  of a relatively small amount of information, say, a few pages of text, be representative? In particular, I am interested in the analysis of text entropy of f85r, 85v and f86v. It seems to me that the entropy of the text on these pages will be much higher. What worries me is that usually the Voynich text is compared to texts, perhaps of a completely different nature. Has anyone had the opportunity to analyze the entropy of texts of medieval recipes, spells, prayers or herbals? Will they give the same result (counting and not counting spaces) ? I think that the text of f85r-v and You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. is closer to the average texts, perhaps this is just an impression, so I'd like to make sure, having a numerical indicator. I think it also relates to the text of folios 58r-v, and possibly - some others.

Forgive me, if I missed something, if the entropies of various sections of the manuscript have already been discussed and compared, tell me where to read about it. I'd appreciate that.
