Since the beginning of my study, mostly driven by curiosity, I’ve been trying to analyse the peculiarities of the text, look for patterns, and things like that, but today it’s impossible for me to propose any solution that really fits with what I found. Most of the things I found were already known before, I just arrived to them through diferent methods and experiments.
Right now I honestly can’t even say if I believe the text has meaning or not, or if it is a cipher or not. And I think it’s a waste of time to confront any theorical solution before we really understand the limits and characteristics of the text itself.
For me, the correct direction is this one: understand the text as much as possible first, and then maybe one day, with some inspiration (well, it may take more than one day), think about a possible solution that could explain everything.
I agree with quimqu, and I've seen progress made in this direction on this forum lately. There have also been other interesting developments (ie. the thread on month names in the marginalia and the thread on castles with swallowtail merlons).
If I had time at the moment to write some more code I'd explore the idea of a many-to-many (and thus probably undecipherable) substitution cipher, which is as good as many other ideas, and probably also as bad.
