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?

I have the same/similar questions as eggyk. Some narration on the video might help, as well as going much more slowly - it's too fast for me to pick up what is happening in detail. I also feel like the word length statistics aren't quite right, but can't back that up. 

But this all seems quite exciting to me!
