An attempt at extracting grammar from vord order statistics.
#36
The experiments with King James Genesis confirm that the system gives meaningful results on a 38K words simple text. Another interesting experiment could be processing English texts that show a complexity (e.g. MATTR) closer to Voynichese and whose length matches that of relatively homogeneous Voynich sections (e.g. Quire13 or Quire20, about 7-11K words).

These are MATTR 500 values for Q20, Q13, Moby Dick, Shakespeare’s Sonnets, You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. (skipping the initial index) and King James Genesis. English texts have been converted to lower case and punctuation was removed. The Genesis is more repetitive than the other texts and therefore has a lower number of different word types. The Grete Herball appears to be more varied, but still more repetitive than Voynichese.
