Inside the Voynich Network: graph analysis

[quimqu]

the differences are very large and indicate a completely different behavior from any natural language.ces, but it does not imply that the Voynich behaves like or unlike any specific language in terms of meaning or topic.

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.  

Moreover, as the Pentateuch test shows, they are not properties of the semantics contents of the text either, but only of the patterns in which the words occur.  Even two translations of the same text into the same language (see the two Chinese versions) will give different metrics.

So the correct statement would be "the word occurrence patterns of the Voynich text do not resemble the word occurrence patterns of those translations of the Pentateuch."    Which is not unexpected, since the structure of the text of the typical Herbal is very different from that of a narrative like the Pentateuch.

The next interesting test would be to compare the Voynich Herbal texts with the texts of Marco's Alchemical Herbal, in Latin and English. 

All the best, --stolfi

You are right, I updated the post.

I will give a try comparing Voynich to Marco's Alchemical Herbal. It would also be good to have othe herbals in different languages. I will try to search for them.
