Strong evidence of a structured four-phase system in the Voynich Manuscript

Do you know what a seed is?

A seed is just a number that lets you start the pseudo-random process from the same place every time. Without it, you’d get different results every run, like someone running 1 km, but always starting from a different city.

Yes, absolutely clear. I'm a software engineer. I've been doing this in my programs for decades, setting the pseudo-random generator seed to be able to get the same result in a later run of course.

My problem is conceptual/philosophical: let me try to explain it.

If any calculation based on a sequence of random numbers produces something that compares amazingly well with reality only for this sequence of random numbers, it is a property of this sequence of random numbers, not a property of reality.

It's like discovering the entire US Declaration of Independence coded in the decimals of pi at offset 14287468794577131. Yes, it's there somewhere, but what does the discovery mean? Absolutely nothing.
