Inside the Voynich Network: graph analysis

[Jorge_Stolfi]

Thanks for all this data, but let me emphasize again that those metrics are not properties of the language, but of the text.  You observed it yourself, on the previous post where you explained what the fragility measure means. 

PS. A clarification: the language can have a large impact on those metrics, but because translation can severely break the 1-1 correspondence between the lexicons, and scramble the word order in sentences.   For instance, the word "sing" in English can be translated into dozens of different words in Latin or Romance, or into two separate words in Mandarin.  A noun in Latin will often be translated into article+noun in Romance (and with 4 different articles).  The actual structure of these changes is not as important as the mere fact that nodes of one graph get split and scrambled in the other.  This fact alone means that graph features like cliques, hubs, cycles, paths, etc.  can be created or destroyed by the translation. (In just-made-up jargon, translation does not entail an isomorphism between the two graphs, but at best a messy irregular homeomorphism.  The metrics are invariant under the former but not under the latter).

All the best, --stolfi
