The Naibbe cipher

[Yavernoxia]

Hello @magnesium, I found the presentation really interesting and started reading the paper as soon as the meeting ended. Honestly, this is one of the best theories I've ever read about a possible encryption for natural language plaintext. As far as I know, nobody has ever been able to replicate so many properties (entropy, clustering, average length of words, positioning, differences in suffixes and prefixes, etc.) of the VMS together like this.

There are still some problems, such as the labels, and the fact that the predominance of rare glyphs in the top line is not at all explained by the Naibbe cipher. Could those lines/parts of the VMS text have been encrypted using a completely different type of cypher that still uses the same encoded glyphs? Who knows  

Fact is, I think you're surely onto something with the bigram/unigram plaintext thing..
