Discussion of "A possible generating algorithm of the Voynich manuscript"
On the fact that humans, and not an algorithm, created the MS: when Lisa Fagin Davis’ findings on the five hands are published, it would be interesting to see whether one can assign different likings to the different hands, such as: scribe1 prefers these glyphs, scribe2 prefers those methods of substitution, scribe3 likes to cut out things, scribe4 likes to compose words. If one could model “decisions trees” (that the actual scribes would not have followed intentionally) for the different scribes that match the idiosyncrasies of their texts, that would strongly support the theory.
