The Voynich as a rhythmic structure and height distribution in the Voynicl hypothesis

[nintus]

I considered the option that Voynichese is music.

I even imagined some crazy man who believed that he could hear the music of the spheres: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.

You probably know this theory - when planets move they make some sound which feels like the most beautiful music. Unfortunately people lost the capability of hearing that. But hey, if you step on some spiritual path then maybe eventually you will hear it again. And you may want to write it down but in the way so those other simpletons couldn't read it.

But no, I actually don't believe it. And I feel that the "music theory" is one of these things that are practically impossible to prove or disprove.

I guess we could assign some music notes to Voynichese symbols in a systematic way. Would it produce "nice" music, following all these theoretical rules of musical harmony? I haven't checked but I suppose not.

And what if we end with some "ugly" music, a kind of medieval charivari ( You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. ) ? Could it be the solution? Probably not but try to definitely prove that it isn't.

 
I don’t think the Voynich is a musical score or anything like that. I think the Voynich was deciphered using some kind of musical algorithm.

This could be a fruitful avenue.
A few years back somebody did a statistical analysis that arranged related vords and showed that they tended to rise to a crescendo of complexity then subside again. iirc there was more than one series. The behaviour seemed to be music-like.
I don't know enough about music of any sort to judge and I don't remember enough to find the thread again.
Maybe some of the leading researchers here still remember this.

Thank you for commenting on my post. I’m interested in finding some jobs similar to mine, but I’ve never been able to find any. Would you happen to remember anything about what you mentioned?
