VM TTR values

[Koen G]

Good points, Marco. In fact, I would say these line patterns are an argument against any "chaotic" explanation, as they imply some planning or at least consistency. 

Also, I cannot think of any realistic scenario where words would actually be drawn from a bag, since this also presumes that some words are very frequent while many are unique or rare. I don't see any practical way this could work.

Now on the other hand, I do think it remains interesting that shuffling is a decent way of approaching Q20's TTR values, even if it may not be directly relevant. Maybe it is just that shuffling lowers  small window TTR, which is enough to bring it closer to Voynichese even though the underlying principles are unrelated.
