Need advice for testing of hypotheses related to the self-citation method

[ReneZ]

You have to start from something, so an initial set of "seed" words that come from nowhere is unavoidable.

Yes, and this is another weakness of the whole approach, which I am just trying to point out. I don't want to start a religion discussion, but it is a good parallel. Modern languages evolved from ancient ones (probably with steps and certainly with 'inter-breeding') much like humans evolved from other species.

Is Voynichese more like the biblical approach where two persons were 'created from scratch' and the rest evolved from these two? Also here, two is not an adequate
number, and I believe the exact family tree has not been described. But my knowledge here is limited, and the example does not need to be followed in more detail.

I don't know or care what Torsten Timm's app does.

I do agree with that to some extent. There is a nearly infinite number of ways in which a self-citation model could have been used. This is just one example.
However, its importance is that this particular implementation has been used as 'evidence' that this should be the way in which the MS text was created. 

Anyway, I am interested to see more independent checks of the success rate of this method, so look forward to what you find.
