Ciao guys!
First of all, thank you for responding and sharing your doubts and questions. This has allowed us to make statistics that we hadn't considered before:
Ed, please try the following script again against EVA.
To eliminate overfitting, we have abandoned the original order. The script now uses a strict alphabetical from A to Z, like the design of Alberti's disc or Llull's circles. Even with this unoptimized wheel, MS 408 shows a dead zone that natural language cannot replicate. The text only “travels” through specific glyph tracks.

Ed, did I answer your question? If not, you can send me a private message, and we can develop a model together that better suits your thinking. Although I don't mind sharing this kind of things here, it is interesting.
-------------
Eggyk, the video you saw was a demo and didn't actually include the hardware locks I’ve been discussing with Ed. If you give me a specific folio and line, I can generate a simulation that follows the physical constraints of the Volvella.
Regarding the "how", the Volvella doesn't move on its own, it is a tool used by an operator. The rules would work like this:
The author wants to encrypt a process or event > The Volvella acts as a physical "compiler." The disk rotation isn't arbitrary. It is the mechanical path needed to reach the desired process while the Gallow provides the mode.
And now of course, If the text is encoded this way, the images are too. It wouldn't make sense to use a Volvella for text and then leave the images as "plain" representations. That would defeat the purpose of the encoding hahah!

Skoove, regarding “The real difficulty is showing that you can consistently create some sort of plaintext based on your vovelle and the pre existing Voynichese paragraphs.”
In the previous Python code, Synthetic Voynich is generated with the same structure but without rules, precisely to demonstrate that Voynich follows restrictions.
If anyone has any more questions, I'm here, and we can work and collaborate together of course. There are still a lot of things I don't know, but I would like to go deeper

# Addresses valid critiques regarding statistical overfitting.
# 1. ROTOR ORDER: We abandon frequency-optimized layouts and use a strict A-Z
# historical layout. We test for 'Sparsity' (Dead Zones) rather than short jumps.
# 2. LOCK CONSTRAINTS: We abandon statistically-inferred locks. We define locks
# using 15th C. chemical protocols (Cappelli Lexicon) BEFORE testing the text.

# 15th C. devices used A-Z. We map the 26 EVA atoms strictly alphabetically.
