If meaningless text is generated by scribes in systems like Torsten's, how are these patterns generated so consistently? There would need to be a set of rules that either require these patterns or result in them as a byproduct, or a mixture of the two. This seems a bigger obstacle, e.g. if the text is meaningless, what system could result in vertical pairs like o-o being anathema when vertical pairs like s-s are just fine?
I agree on this and I find it to be my main objection to Torsten's mechanism (which is instead attractive from other points of view). How did the scribe mantain the coherence of words structure using a 'copy-and-modify' mechanism along so many pages, and notwithstanding for instance the drastic changes in 'language' between 'Currier A' and 'Currier B'?
What's fascinating with Voynich is that it seems for every hypothesis both evidence in favor and evidence against can be found.
