One of the most well-known hypotheses about the Voynich manuscript dates from British linguists Gordon Rugg. How Rugg in 2004 described an article in the journal Cryptologia, the Voynich manuscript text could be created using the following method: take several dozen combinations of letters or single letters value added packaging (about QO, CHE, DY, QO, K, SHE, ODY, T, Y and some more) as building blocks and put them together into words and a fantasy value added packaging fantasy text. The assembly is done by writing the blocks in a table and jumps in this using a template from a block to another. A fantasy text that is created in this way, reads like this: QOTDY QOSHEY OCHEDY QOCHEDY QOKODY TY ...
However, there are opposite Rugg hypothesis an obvious objection: There are now about 20 statistical investigations, which show that the text of the Voynich manuscript has similarity to natural language. A new study by Marcelo A. Montemurro, Damián H. Zanette and points in the same direction. So the question is: Can you really generate value added packaging by the proposed by Rugg (very simple) method pseudo-text that has 20 typical properties of natural language? And without knowing what you are doing (the author of the Voynich manuscript was 500 years ago by language statistics still do not have much idea)?
At first glance, it seems to me that pretty unlikely. But Gordon Rugg, with whom I have a few e-mails have replaced this week, sees things differently. value added packaging Among other things he wrote to me: ". I think it's perfectly possible for a text produced using the table and grille technique to have a lot in common with natural language" in his publications has Rugg already several parallels between natural language and a generated by his method Text shown. However, he has here, far from all the static properties of the Voynich manuscript text which speak natural language considered. Here and here there are two opinions Rugg to work Montemurro and Zanette.
Meanwhile, the Voynich manuscript value added packaging expert Nick Pelling has published criticism of the work of Montemurro and Zanette. He thinks that the statistical method of Montemurro and Zanette value added packaging did not identify the words with the highest information content, value added packaging and hence the conclusion of the authors must be wrong from the outset. Unfortunately, I lack the lingustische expertise to judge the can. Another criticism there is of Stephen Chrisomalis. It supports the opinion of Rugg that the results do not necessarily speak for natural value added packaging language.
Finally, we have now reached again at a point in the discussion, are stuck to the already many Voynich discussion. The problem: While we now know the statistical properties of the text very good, the interpretation of these properties lies yet in its infancy. There is simply too little knowledge about how language, writing, coding and encryption bein influence certain text statistics. There is still a great need for research.
Meanwhile, we therefore do not know whether the proposed method of Rugg (perhaps with minor modifications) can produce nonsense text, which so closely resembles the Voynich manuscript text that we can consider the hypothesis to be correct. Despite this (or perhaps because) you can of course still doubt that this is possible. <
