Why and how the text could be Bavarian

[JoJo_Jost]

At core level, the VMS has the diversity of a natural Upper German consonant stream. Its strange surface distribution can largely be explained by an independently visible family system which, quite typically for a cipher, reveals a kind of compression mechanism.

Please don't take this as an attempt to deride your approach, I admire the effort and the persistence. However, I have found an interesting parallel between how I see your theory and Stolfi's Chinese theory. The more effort you put into defending your theories the less convincing they look to me. I've tried to understand why, and now I realize it's quite simple. It's absolutely clear that both you and Prof. Stolfi are very convinced in the merits of your respective theories and both of you are highly motivated to look for evidence supporting the respective theories. So with every new post that doesn't actually contain any good direct evidence, it seems more and more likely to me that no definitive evidence can be found at all. It's as if you were looking for gold in a particular place and meticulously kept excavating and panning for gold grains and with each new shiny speckle that you find and that turns out not to be gold the observers will inevitably become less and less credulous of the whole mother lode claim.

Yes, that assumption might arise, because Voynich theories often lose their persuasiveness the more flexible they become.

But there’s a significant difference! What I’m doing here is not adding arbitrary assumptions merely to rescue the model, because otherwise the basic system simply wouldn’t work!

The system already works at the most basic level, because it can explain a significant portion of the VMS structures with just two assumptions. According to Ockham’s Razor, that’s already a very good foundation.

But the system is clearly not just that simple—that’s only the first step. Quite obviously, the cores are encrypted and not in plaintext; otherwise, the cipher would have been deciphered 100 years ago.

What I’m doing now—and this is where you seem to lose interest—is approaching this cipher from various angles of statistical analysis. This is the classic approach in cryptology. There’s no other way. How else could one understand exactly how a cipher works?

And unlike most other theories, this approach works very well and simply with the VBM.

The last example I mentioned demonstrates this in a striking way—through this approach, the cipher has exposed itself. 

Not understanding that is a mystery to me... somehow - but okay...
