Hmm, reading the GitHub page I see that your "self-citation text generator" has a number of problems:
  • It generates words which don't exist.
  • Over-generates rare words.
  • Allow words which typically occur at the start of the line to appear anywhere.
  • Certain bigrams have the wrong frequencies: lt (24 tokens) but lk (36 tokens), or oa (44 tokens) but ya (233 tokens!)
I can't say that the text really looks like the Voynich text.
