Can we go further?

I liked your threads a lot, all this data clustering and looking for patterns.

It showed to me however, that a lot depends on the used language and the text content.
The same Book of Genesis in different languages gave different patterns, right?

You also compared the texts if they have "schematic" or "loose" structure with some assumption that real text cannot be neither too schematic or too loose.
But it turned out that there was always some real text that gave "unreal" statistical properties.

As for now I see all this "Voynich is not random" results as somehow limited. They don't really tell us if the text is meaningful or not.

My opinion is that we don't have enough long gibberish texts for comparisons.
Someone should really make such study - hire 50 or so first year students, close them in a basement so they couldn't cheat and use computer for word generating and make them write 40000 words long texts of gibberish  Smile
Then we could compare them to real texts, to Voynich and see how they differ against real text, Voynich and each other.
