The Voynich Manuscript: Evidence of the Hoax Hypothesis

Abstract In this article, I analyze the Voynich manuscript, using random walk mapping and token/syllable repetition statistics. The results significantly tighten the boundaries for possible interpretations; they suggest that the text has been generated by a stochastic process rather than by encoding or encryption of language. In particular, the so-called Chinese theory now appears less convincing.
