Folio, Quire and Section Word Correlation

[oshfdk]

Yes, the correlation suggests that the text adheres to the themes of the folio. If so, the mechanism that generates the text is not a random stream of generated text but text generated to a theme. That theme could be text related to that specific folio or section. The "vine" is a good example, it appears on 3 different folios and these 3 different folios have above average word correlation.

TA nice example of this is the "vine" plant that appears in f17v, f96v, f99. It's correlated through theme and word correlation.

This could be interesting. I suppose, your next move would be trying to identify which words specifically cause this correlation? I vaguely remember there was a very similar attempt of linking various sections via statistical analysis a few years ago. I remember impressive graphs connecting parts of vocabulary, color coded for sections.

The question around generative text is usually positioned as "the manuscript is either pseudo-language or a cipher...", my point is that it can easily be both.

I'm not sure there is a "usual" wording for any question about the manuscript, I think you can find a few distinct mutually incompatible opinions on almost any aspect of the MS   

But your conclusion sounds reasonable to me. It seems to be a common idea that the cipher, if this is a cipher, was specifically designed to mimic an unknown language. As far as I understand, your specific suggestion is that this effect was achieved by using a certain language-like sequence generation method, underlying the actual cipher? I don't know if this is a novel idea, I'm not very much concerned with specific sequence generation scenarios. I know that a lot of people have been doing in-depth research in this area.
