An Essay on Entropy: what is it, and why is it so important?

[nablator]

The result compares quite well with Voynichese:

A reduced alphabet (14 letters), reduced vocabulary (almost like Green eggs and ham) and strict CV alternation certainly help, but a short sample also helps... Where did you find a long enough sample of Toki Pona text for h2?


Edit:
Just found this Toki Pona Bible project: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.

It's not pure Toki Pona because there are many names, but they have been modified to look like proper Toki Pona.

I fixed a few things (not really needed because there are few mistakes): One Betlehem changed to Petelen, one Juda to Juta, one Jerusalen to Jelusalen. Removed all punctuation, Arabic numerals and a few English words (choose, God, sent for, angel), changed #YHWH to Jawe, then converted everything to lowercase.

Final concatenated file length: 130 KB (few books have been translated, and often partially)

h0 = 3.907 = log2(15) : 14 letters and space
h1 = 3.501
h2 = 2.345

For H2, which is the quantity most looked at for the Voynich MS, at least 10,000 would be needed.

First 10,000:
h1 = 3.482
h2 = 2.294

First 20,000:
h1 = 3.481
h2 = 2.309

First 30,000:
h1 = 3.486
h2 = 2.334

First 40,000:
h1 = 3.489
h2 = 2.337

First 50,000:
h1 = 3.492
h2 = 2.342
