Yes, as I said, Friedman believed that the Voynich script could be a primitive constructed universal philosophical language. I do not think so.
Why did he believe that? Because of the repetitive nature of glyphs and glyph chains. That made him think that each glyph could have meaning and refer to a certain field of ideas. As in the language devised by Wilkins in the seventeenth century, each letter had to be significant.
My theory differs because I think that there are no letters in the Voynich but rather symbols, pictograms. But I think like Friedman that each glyph is significant, whether it is a constructed language or an equally constructed iconic code.
