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

[oshfdk]

1. You assign a random decimal number called 'Lunar Angle' from 0 to 360 to each folio - seed 1405. Different seeds can give completely different results.
   
2. You then discretize this number by creating an additional feature, 'Phase', using the following formula: Phase := ⌊LunarAngle % 90⌋
   

Depending on the seed you've chosen previously, maybe You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. (or any folio) gets a Lunar Angle of 87.341º and Phase = 0, or maybe your dataset gets no Phase 0 folios at all! Change the seed to 1234 and maybe the whole dataset consists of all 116 folios sharing exactly Lunar Angle 201.12º and thus Phase 1. The segmentation is, as you said, random.

     3. You calculate the Entropy and the topic for each folio (these numeric values are NOT random for each folio)
     4. You train an AI that, looking at the Entropy, Topics and the Lunar Angle of a folio, predicts a Phase for that folio.
     5. The accuracy and "correlation" is then calculated as follows: How did the AI perform with respects to the random segmentation of Step #2?

Thank you so much for doing this. When I was asking the original author for a high level simple description, this is what I was looking for.
