Is that pi minus one?
I was looking at the possibilities within each of the numerical sets as basically being random, but you're right in that the string of individual values in a sentence would turn out to provide a specific number. And then, if that numerical sequence can be found repeated in a plain text, there could be a sort of correspondence, an argument for equivalence, perhaps. Sort of like a numerological version of Pelling's 'block' paradigm proposal.
The obvious disadvantage of this type of investigation is its difficulty in implementation. The VMs can be given some interpretation, but what about the plain text? Where does it come from? Why not from Oresme, instead of John Dee, if we already have a representation of the Oresme cosmos in the VMs?
The problem is in the nature of the comparison. This is an internal (VMs elements) to external (unnamed plain text) comparison. The basic premise of the comparison is flawed because of the extreme improbability of finding the proper plain text.
This problem is solved by changing the nature of the comparison. A simple and easy solution can be found by presenting both of the elements for comparison within the VMs, as in the Zodiac illustrations. An internal to internal comparison is a much more definitive evaluation. A string of such comparisons can be an effective way to communicate.
