Voynich Sequence: Three Families of Repetitions & Rules of Omission

The Voynich manuscript, is a coded book. 

Despite the long time spent on the mystery, the simple cipher have been unknown for human minds.

However, after two years dealing with the writings in different experiments, I found the book is a simple but creative code.

When you write down pages the first notice would be specific repeats. By watching with care and sorting them, there would be three families in the structure:

1. Alternate

The repeats happened for neighbor words, in beginning of words, or the end. You would have to delete word's beginning with neighbors' or omit the word's end with the neighbors' end, based on which are the repeats in.

AB AC DC  >>  B D

2. Inverse

The inverse, contains two same elements in left and right of a word or sequence. The more advanced in the kind is mirrored and in reversed order. Two different words, surrounding a part. You would have to delete them and keep the remaining word in the center.

ABC DE Y DE ABC >> Y

3. Twin

Twin family is repeating of elements, sign or multiple signs, which occurs in tandem. The repeating elements would change to one sign after omissions.

AB BC >> ABC

Finding the regions of deciphering, has similar basics to when we find coding regions in genes. The coding parts of genes are regions which would be the source for proteins. In order to find the coding region, among the lines of nucleotides we find AUG codon, known as start codon. We can also find the end of the coding region by finding stop codons. This simple but wise method can be seen in voynich manuscript, in other means. In the lines of manuscript to find repeating sequences we need to look for repeating words as start point for deciphering. And then doing deletions would give the main writings. The procedure has to start from beginning of sequence to the end. And sequences can be observed from beginning of paragraph till the end.

So there are three families of repetitions and three rules of omission.


Colored Cells 

The procedure is easy to do, but it's probable to make errors. In order to reduce the probability, creating colored cells can be useful. 



The figure shows the colored cells for paragraph one of folio 3r (Blue: Alternate, Green:Inverse, Orange: Twin).
