Sorry for temporarily hijacking the thread, but just some concluding remarks. I asked ChatGPT to change the script by capping the distance at 1/4 the size of the MS, so if no following or preceding string can be found within 1/4 of the text, the distance is set to this value.
And I switched graphs to log scale. Now I see no stark difference between both ways and one way matching, as well as between EVA, shuffled EVA and Opus Majus. For Opus Majus I used the initial portion the size of the Voynich MS, to allow for easy comparison.
So I think this was a nothing-burger.
