Register or Login to view.Normalizing entropy is an interesting and worthwile task in itself, and I was enthusiastic about it myself a few years ago, when there were first discussions on entropy in the Forum. But... somehow it's easy to over-focus upon it, and it's as easy to lose grasp of the "big picture" - just as a substitution-cipher-solver would lose it (the difference is that the substitution-cipher-solver is most probably yet unaware of various properties of Voynichese)
IMO, one should always bear in mind the "big picture", -which is probably not altogether accomplished yet, - but its components are:
1) entropy
2) positional properties of characters within vords
3) positional properties of characters within lines and paragraphs
4) gallows coverage
5) vord reduplication (strict and quasi-)
6) multipass
7) graphical decomposition of characters
8) <fill in your own variant here>
