[split] Why the VMS text is meaningful or meaningless?

[DonaldFisk]

Modelling Voynichese solely as a (large) set of prefixes and suffixes is arguably even more reductive than Gordon Rugg's table (if more empirical). But I don't honestly think { {pick a prefix} x {pick a suffix} } really counts as a valid state transition model in any useful sense of the phrase.

Because I wrote the blog pages in the order I did the analysis, only correcting things if I subsequently discovered them to be wrong (i.e. mistakes), it's easy to misinterpret what I wrote.    I could have avoided that if I simply wrote a paper after doing the research, leaving out any ideas which I pursued along the way that were eventually dropped, such as that words are composed from prefixes and suffixes.   But I also wanted to show the path the research took, not just the final result.   Perhaps I should have advised people to read my blog backwards.

My theory is that words are composed of individual glyphs, not prefixes and suffixes.   At each state, a glyph is output and then a transition is followed.
