However, I hypothesize that the Voynich Manuscript itself is already a model of some underlying mechanism.
Therefore, attempting to model it further by converting its contents into a different string of characters would only distance us from that original mechanism, likely serving only to deepen the mystery.
VAM is an approach designed to address this issue. By mapping the original glyphs directly to the Latin alphabet—bypassing interpretations based on existing transcriptions—it aims to investigate what the manuscript is actually modeling.
You might better understand the significance of this approach if you try using the conversion table to actually convert a page. Please give it a try.
