Deconstructing the VMS : A positionless ledger (part 1)
#18
With the questions I'm getting I've realized that perhaps I didn't explain the ledger well enough. Let's see if this helps

Think of every non-suffix letter in the Voynich as being a parent.  Each parent can have children. Suffixes are the exception, they are only children.

So when I look at the word daiin.  D is the prefix and it immediately becomes a parent.  A is a child of D.  But then A becomes a parent of I so I is a child of A. But, I then becomes a parent and it's child is also named I.  That I then becomes a parent of the suffix N. 

When I look at the word dshody, again, D is the prefix and becomes a parent of the child SH. Because I looked at daiin first, A and SH are now siblings as both have D as a parent.  SH becomes a parent and has the child O.  O becomes a parent and has D as a child. I then end the word with the D suffix child, Y.

Now for those into genealogy you notice that in dshody that the same D that started that word also becomes a child of O.  And in daiin, the I becomes it's own parent and it's own child. I did not say the Voynich was without it's own special case of inbreeding.

So, when building the ledger using every word and this parent, child, sibling relationship, every word will be attested.  The ledger will always be capable of creating 100% of Voynich words or any other language fed into it.  So it's not exactly a slot model per-se.

Using the ledger, here's the complete ancestry tree for the letter D using just scribe 1 herbal.  I hope this helps explain how it works.
