New book by Ianus van Altrideicktus

[Rafal]

[The suggested process] of decoding also appears analogous to this quantum scenario of wave function collapse. From the uncertain cloud of possible contexts spanned by the ciphertext, analogously represented by a wave function in quantum mechanics, a well-defined context emerges non-locally (holistically) through the decryption process, in terms of the uncertainty collapse of the context space.

Oh my   And I was starting to like his theory.

Of course it can be just florid language, but something tells me he really sees some connection between VM and quantum physics. And he seemed quite rational, having a lot of citations, statistical diagrams and recommendation by Gordon Rugg.

It would be really okayish if he just said it's glossolalia. I can imagine one man freestyling and writing such words on a wax tablet and then fluently writing them down in an invented script. It makes sense if the goal was to dupe emperor Rudolf and make him pay a big cash for the manuscript.

It could even be that in the sea of gibberish there are actually a few meaninful sentences like Mark Knowles says.

But now it seems that he claims that there is much more to it. And here he goes wacko.

And he uses a lot of smoke and mirrors (like many Voynich solutions) but at the end of the day it looks that his readings are quite subjective, his system is ambiguous and allows the same glyphs to be read in many ways. Have a look (it is a sample page so I guess I may quote it):



Putting the erotic fantasies aside   there is also an interesting thing called "maximum context envelope concept". I suppose it is a clever way of saying
"I read the text the way it suits me".

So sorry, I won't be spending 54.95 EUR.
