Quote:The first experiment led to identification of multiple substitution alphabets which allow to map 240 EVA letters, contained in 40 distinct words present in the Calendar, onto 35 feminine-name-ressembling sequences enumerated among 13815 items of ??????????.
Results of second experiment indicate that if ever the Calendar contains lists of hebrew names, then these names would be more probably feminine rather than masculine.
This is, as far as we can currently say, all that could be potentially offered as an answer to the question Can Evolutionary Computation Help us to Crib the Voynich Manuscript?. Everything else is - without help coming from experts in other disciplines - just a speculation.

Lindemann and Bowern Wrote:At the character level, Voynichese is strikingly different from any other text in the Wikipedia and Historical corpora. The character set size and frequency of characters is conventional, but the characters are combined in an extremely predictable way, as indicated by an unusual conditional character entropy that is distinctly lower than any of the 316 comparison texts.

If Voynichese is encoded text, it must be more complex than a simple substitution cipher. A simple monoalphabetic substitution cipher will have absolutely no effect on conditional character entropy, because the same characters simply shift places with one another.
