Alicia, are you thinking all these gearwork things yourself or are you using AI ?
Volvelles and cipher rings were much simpler things that you expect them to be, especially in the 1400s.
And Voynichese isn't that regular as you may think. There is a lot of words that won't match prefix-core-suffix scheme or even (prefix)-(core)-(suffix) where (prefix) means that there is a word part from list of prefixes or not.
Today people are using computers and still are unable to write a program that would generate all Voynichese words by rules (and not using the prepared list).
And generating some logic with gears is much harder than with a computer, believe me.
As other say, If you have some brilliant idea, show us the sketch of your supposed machine. But you will probably discover how hard is to go from vague ideas to details.
