Register or Login to view.When we actually sit real humans down and say "write me something that looks meaningful but isn't" - even people without much background in linguistics or the Voynich manuscript - we end up with an explosion of different texts and approaches, many of which are surprisingly non-random.That many texts are not random is a psychological phenomenon. People are geared to find meaning, even where there is obviously none (or none should exist). So I'm not surprised that many experimentees have to fail in the task of creating completely meaningless text in the end. It would be interesting to compare the "systems" developed "on the fly" with each other to check whether, and if so in which form, there are similarities. For this purpose, one can of course interview the experimentees.
