  A definition of what you mean exactly by "dominate" in your "wired" (green) lines would be helpful to eliminate possible selection bias. Visually, their placement looks close to random to me.

  @ nablator
  
  realy????? okay...
  
  
  Three words with the same first three letters.
  Three words with the same root.
  Three words that swap letters around the same root.
  Accumulation of duplicates
  Lines that use several word types in a row 
  ...and others
  
  If you remove the uncertain ones (see brackets), the picture would tilt even more towards weird lines = end of page.

  The devil is in the details. You could be noticing these lines and not noticing others that are just as "wired". Do you mean weird?

  "i before e, except half the time"  
  (we get taught in English class here "i before e, except after c" and it's a lie..!)
  
  For what it is worth, the "across" is weird and more "charm'y"
  The "downward" reminds me of a style of writing that you see in Alchemy, and also medicine.. and just about anyone trying to sound "learned" in a "holier-than-thou" way. 
  I call it "cat in the hat writing". 
  
  (ends of lines)
  Þe man þat wele of lechecraft lere
  Rede ouer þis bok and he may here
  Many a medicyn boþ good and trewe
  to hele sores boþ olde and newe
  Heryn arn medicines withoute fable
  To hele alle sores þat arn curable
  Of swerd knif and of arue
  Be þe wounde wyd or narue
  Of spere of quarel of dagger of dart
  to make him hol in eche part...
  
  
  It's poem-like but the intent is not incantation/charm/poem/song etc, but being a "smart arse". 
  Talking from a position of knowledge unbeknown to the reader, a rather extreme example would be "fairy tales", if we were to look at it sceptically  
  I have no idea if the VMS writing is doing this, but I guess it is possible the nature of the almost-repetitiveness downwards is not magical in intention.

  Yesterday was definitely not my day... yes, surely "weird"... I don't know what was going on in my head. Writing in a foreign language...
  
  I corrected it
  
  But when you compare them to the other lines in the texts, these weird lines are much more noticeable. I just went through the whole herbal section. They stand out clearly from the other lines.  But of course, I will have overlooked a few lines—and a few are questionable. That's why I wanted to use ChatGPT to find them all and leave my own opinion out of it. But that didn't work.
  
  But even if you leave out the questionable ones, the picture remains conspicuous, or rather, it becomes even more conspicuous.
