[Article] A Glyph Is Not a Letter, a Token Is Not a Word, a Space Is Not a Space

The Voynich Manuscript is generally highly organised, far more so than most people realise. This also makes it clear that it cannot be a substitution text. Yet, on another level, it is also terribly unstructured, with many exceptions to the structured patterns.

The cipher behind it therefore operates on two different levels: one level relates to structure – these must be lists of homophones that are common components of a language – whilst the other relates to the linguistic level, where structures can also create chaos even in a normal language.

All of this would, in principle, be very simple if it weren’t for a third level – and I haven’t cracked that one yet either. A position-dependent level.

That, in turn, contradicts both any language and any "normal" cipher. But neither is it an indication of a generator, as none of the three can do that either.

The key will be very, very simple.... im sure - but.....
