Topic Judgment of the Possibility to break Undeciphered Documents
-With the Example of the Most Mysterious Manuscript-
Overview The researches concerning undeciphered documents often focus on understanding the contents itself. However, those documents which have not been able to be broken for a long time should be fabricated documents, written randomly and have no sense, and it might not be possible to decipher them from the beginning.
In this lecture, we speculate the structure of documents by examining similarities of each part of undeciphered documents while basing on the premise that the technology to process information which are able to be applied to a lot of existing documents are also useful to the undeciphered documents. Then, the method to judge the undeciphered documents will be suggested by comparing and analyzing the corresponding relationship with structures of each documents followed by graphic charts and the page order. The result of applying this method to the famous undeciphered documents, Voynich manuscript will also be introduced.
