Writing a fake Voynich by rules: copies, habits and the link between words

I also read reproduce.py on your page. As far as I can see, it averages fits that were computed beforehand, and it only keeps the fits where 1a comes before 1b (and, in the other paths, the order of 3a/3b and 4a/4c is chosen). So the direction and part of the order are inputs, not results. Is there a step that goes from the text alone to the order of Q13 and Q20? With that I could run it on my text and see if it also finds an order there.

You are right, my mistake. the old script only summarized saved, filtered fits.

I’ve added and published the reproducibility code, using the documented ElPiGraph 0.3.4 engine:
- Raw transcription → fresh fits → published scores, with all assumptions explicit.
- Custom text → fresh ordering without Golf labels or imposed Q13/Q20 order.
- Instructions, examples, tests, and a refit verifier.

I tested, and eight fresh fits matched the saved results exactly. The actual results were created using a much larger 6,400-fit ensemble that may take some time to run.

From the repository root, after installing the documented dependencies:

Code:

python text-order/refit_published.py --out fresh-published python text-order/verify_refit.py --output fresh-published
