Inside the Voynich Network: graph analysis

[Jorge_Stolfi]

The same graph also brings me to re-evaluate Torsten Timm's work, because it's undeniable it's plotted 'near' the VMS, while its shuffled version is far away.

The T&T generator is vaguely similar to a high-order word-based Markov model, so it naturally mimics the long-range correlations (up to 4 words apart and more) of the target language.  An English-based version of the T&T output (or of an order-3 Markov) should plot close to real English too, while their shuffled versions would plot far from it.
