 Given the (computational) complexity of modern codes breakable via 
 computer, I take a more optimistic view than this - if we can determine the 
 correct basis for the coding system (ie, the grouping level at which 
 semantic information is held, etc), then we can probably break the code 
 systematically.
 
 The first step, then, is to unhide the cipher language - we can worry about 
 the difficulties of breaking it afterwards. So, all my suggestions about 
 paired ciphers relate to unhiding the code, rather than to breaking that 
 code. FWIW, I don't believe I'll be the one to break the code, but I might 
 just be the one to unhide it... fingers crossed! :-)

Hi Nick and ALL :-) 

I hope you're the 1 to unhide it too!  

Just a few nights ago (6/20 (oh noo another 20!)) (yikers - but it was
NOT ES?) - I was awoken from a sleep here, that I said I had to write
this down (I did - but it makes no sense to me - sorry) :-/

My ~worst subject of all is math (ArrGGgggg - I HATE it (ha.haa)) 

I do know about variables from programming 8080/Z80 assembly code on
my old osborne computer and also know an equation should ~balance out~
Mentally, after reading about the construction of CPU & MEMORY Chips
(computer hardware guts) I could easily relate!, and always KNEW you
cannot go to that section of the Chip until you return from where you
came from etc (to make jump) - unless it's written in code as JMP or
SWP etc. (unless you grounded out the (ground) pin. Technically
(mechanical/electrical FLOW) I GOT IT !!  - MATH I ~suck at~ (ha.haa)
(sigh) :-/


(but IT IS SIMPLER THAN I THINK (per ES!!) (smiles):-)
(I'm sure I will have some parenthese in the _wrong_ place (sigh))


Thus my problem here - THIS (below): 

"A (very sad) Voynich (mathmatical) equation attempt to DECODE/ENCODE
per the FOLD & FLIP (ES 3 3 9)"
 

~PROBLEM~ is, I can only make this _balance out_ if I end it with
"'equation goes to' X=VMS(character solution)" 

But there are too many "X's" so I just wrote down "=>VMS"
See other char's below.
 

ANYWAY (and I can fax you the page if you like - as ascci requires I
change some of my (original dream) characters here.)


IF you let: 

" "	 space equal space;
Nx 	equal 1 of (4 of 8) gallows;
xN 	equal the other 1/2 (4 of 8) gallows;
+	equals the continuation until next "Nx" or "xN";
n	equals lower case vms stanalone char's (non gallows)
nx	 "	"	" unkown number >7?  (greater than 7?) 


[<se> more funny shapes <se>]
"scripty F"  = "%" 	equals FOLDING/FLIPPING of key
			% until encounter of Nx
"script n\x" = "#"	equals lower case (nx)
                        actually looks a medical Rx but is "n"\x


---------------------------------------------
THEN: 
---------------------------------------------

1) Nx(1)nx%(then Nx=Xn)%
2) Nx(2)nx%(then Nx=Xn)%

3-8) etc.. 
---------------

                          #=(abcdefgh) 1 of 2 lower characters


xN+(abcdefgh)=xN+# (*) <- actual STAR <se>


xN(+abcdefgh)
--------------- <- over line or divided by? =>VMS
Nx(+abcdefgh) 


xN(+abcdefgh)
--------------- <- over line or divided by? =>VMS
Nx(+hgfedcba)



mirror?

	A		B		A

C		D-D		C---C		D

	B		A		B 





[above mirror is tabbed & spaced using pine editor]
(se) those diamond shapes (above) should look like <>-<>---<> 


<se HOPE THAT HELPS to unhide IT...
    I hear there are MATH wiZZards that can equation a fart?
    I'm NOT that one there (just 1 of 12) ha.haa)>


again - I don't know what any of the above means, and personally since
awaking having to find PEN (not pencil) and PAPER I feel sure I forgot
a lot.
(sorry) 


Best to you & yours there

PS IT's simpler than you think! (se/ES) :-)
