Apologies if i'm misunderstanding, but in that video isn't the person basically picking whichever symbol they wish, for as many symbols as they wish, in any order they wish? What would be the point of the wheel in such a case? If you know which symbol means what, and you may choose which symbols on the wheel to write freely, why not simply write the symbols in the correct order? 

For example, in the first "word" the plaintext is claimed to be: Praeparare Calx Hydrata Extractum Dosis Crystallus

So if praeparare is p, Calx Hydrata is ch, Extractum is e, Dosis is d, Crystallus is y, I don't need a wheel to write out pchedy


Is there some kind of ruleset being followed for how far to rotate the wheel?
