A New Interpretation of the Voynich Manuscript: A Statistical Evolutionary Code

[Mauro]

Thanks for your contribution!

May I ask why you keep talking about 'DNA structure' when you specifically say your intent is (obviously) not to suggest 'DNA' is involved with the VMS? Why not just map the Voynich symbols to four different characters, say A B C D or X Y W Z? Adding the 'DNA' part is unnecessary, irrelevant and confusing.

You say, in your article:

Robustness Verification
We verified robustness by repeating the analysis with alternative rotations of the EVA→DNA mapping. For
instance, instead of a→A, b→C, c→G, d→T, we used a→C, b→G, c→T, d→A. In all cases, Voynich trends
remained significant (p < 0.001), while controls remained flat. This shows that results do not depend on
arbitrary mapping choices, but reflect intrinsic coherence of the manuscript.

But the mapping a→A, b→C, c→G, d→T is exactly the same as a→C, b→G, c→T, d→A, or a→X, b→Y, c→W, d→Z or to whatever symbols you choose for the substitution.

Also, if I did not misunderstand, the cyclical mapping uses the 'alphabetical' sequence of EVA letters (a,b,c,d,e...), which is by itslef completely arbitrary.

Abount Lempel-Ziv complexity: it's a given that it will decrease when replacing 26 symbols with just 4 symbols.
