A One-Page Ledger Method for Generating Voynich-Like Text

[Jorge_Stolfi]

Each response restates the same objection in a different form: "why doesn't mutation X produce word Y?" And each time, the answer is the same: because the scribe is a human making contingent choices, not an algorithm with uniform transition probabilities.

So you are saying that the scribe is not doing copy-and-mutate, nor choosing the prefix and suffix independently of each other, but is choosing each word with a frequency that depends idiosyncratically on the whole word?  So that it may often use "otam", "otol", and "tol", but never "tam"?

That sounds pretty much like the process of writing a meaningful text...

And what about the "seed text" objection?

All the best, --stolfi
