I agree that the text clearly shows signs of artificial construction. That said, I’d like to add a historical thought. The person who created the Voynich manuscript was almost certainly a well educated individual from the early 15th century. Back then, any serious scholar studied the quadrivium arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy. Music wasn’t considered just “art” like today, but a proper mathematical discipline, focused on proportions, ratios, and structured repetition very much like we see in Gregorian chant and polyphony. Given how extremely repetitive and rhythmic Voynichese is, I wonder if the author might have drawn on his musical training when creating the system. Maybe he used ideas like limited notes the glyphs, controlled transitions between them, and some kind of internal rules of succession, similar to how neumes work. I’m not saying it’s literally Gregorian chant encoded or anything like that. I just think it’s possible that the structural inspiration came from that same intellectual and musical background.
