Register or Login to view.Personally, I have no idea what "CLS rules" are and I'm not sure whether they were well formalized (quite possible they were, I just don't know) and whether there were several versions of them. All I know is that they describe some patterns in which glyphs follow other glyphs based on their shapes. There are dozens of very intriguing models showing various patterns of Voynichese, I don't think it's reasonable to expect people know all of them by heart
The CLS (Curve-Line System) was something I developed with David Jackson in 2014, after we noticed that the shapes of glyphs had consequences for their placement. Summary below, You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view..

The CLS was just an observation about the word structure, not a full blown text generation system, but it was the first step we were using to build the full system (I still have the notes for the rest of it somewhere...).
I haven't been active on this board since I designed the logo, as I've been attending to other areas of my life. Really surprised to see it is still getting some traction. It made a big splash when it was first published - some positive, some negative, some just intrigued. Hard to know what the "consensus" was.
