Voynich Welsh Numerology

[stellar]

Stellar, what Anton wants to know is the following: if I take any paragraph from the VM and present it to five people to decipher using your method, will the results be the same? I think the answer is no, unless you tell them beforehand what their translation should look like. 

In other words, the method you propose requires one to know the plain text, rendering the encription useless.

Additionally, the translation is a version with deviant syntax, spelling, word order and vocabulary. So even if you gave people the normal version of the text that was encrypted, they will still come up with different translations because there's a lot of fidgeting and guesswork required of the translator.

So what Anton means is that if we assume repeatability as a requirement for a solution - which we should - then your method does not survive the test. It's mostly guesswork and everybody will guess differently unless you tell them what to guess.

I don't call it guess work!  I call it intuition.  The test should be used by 200 people.  The first 100 get a little bit of info like use it for images and themes and read the Elegant Enigma to see what the results would look like and also a blind test as-well (meaning give another 100 people the cipher and see what they do with it without any background as just says Voynich Welsh Numerology Cipher).  The paragraphs are highly speculative so the test should be only images with labels and themes and I believe people who have read D'Imperio's Elegant Enigma should take the test and at least have a couple on and off years of looking at the folios.  Unfortunately this cipher when in the hands of others may repeat what I have done and at times not.  I would suggest to stick to Welsh and little English.  Also in the Astronomy section I believe the words to be normal names as in there own language.
