A One-Page Ledger Method for Generating Voynich-Like Text

[Dunsel]

And I had codex put together a python file using my previous test that gives this all in visual representation.

Nice! 

Could you please explain those graphs a bit more?  How should we interpret the lengths of the lines and the sizes of the nodes?

All the best, --stolfi

The node sizes are proportional to word frequency. Larger nodes are words that occur more often.  The lines represent ED1 relationships. Two nodes are connected if one form can be transformed into the other by a single insertion, deletion, or substitution.  The actual physical lengths of the lines are not meaningful by themselves. The graph layout uses a spring-force algorithm that tries to pull highly connected regions together while pushing weakly connected regions apart. So clusters that appear close together are generally more densely interconnected through ED1 relationships, while detached clusters have relatively few connections to the rest of the network.

And I'll admit, that's an AI description of the chart and I worked with codex to come up with a mathplotlib chart that made it look readable. The first chart it tried looked like a giant cat hairball with everything in a circle and lines going everywhere.  But, the data is coming from one of my mappings files or a gutenberg text.

So, English fractures into many disconnected morphological islands. My generated text is more center clustered than English but still has the outlying islands.  Voynich instead forms one overwhelmingly dominant connected mutation network.  Essentially, my generator is getting some of it right without trying, but not all of it.  I suspect I haven't figured out enough scribal 'habits' yet.  But, I think this shows the basic method the generator is using is 'plausible', which was my main goal.
