[split] Volvelles or Disks

[Mauro]

The hypothesis I am putting forward, that the text is physically constrained by a state dependent mechanism

This may well be possible, of course (among many other possible things). It has been proposed many times and in many different flavours, I myself made a complicated set of software 'volvelles' which writes a text very similar to the original Voynich in many statistics (a gibberish text, in this case). The problem is to find a system which works and convinces people due to its explanatory power (mine failed to convince even its author  ).
