Run	Mystery	Measured	Result	Against	Date
RUN-255	Voynich	Form-function coupling by length and version (exploratory, not registered)	all, raw 0.149 (languages max 0.09); all, normalised 0.124 (languages max 0.09); all, interior 0.113 (languages max 0.098); half E, raw 0.115 (languages max 0.098); half C, raw 0.086 (languages max 0.095)	Twelve languages cut to the same length	28 Oct
RUN-254	Voynich	-m share among line-final alternants: fullest third of lines minus emptiest third (half C)	0.332 vs 0.283 (z 2.6, 707 line ends)	Within-page shuffle of fullness	28 Oct
RUN-253	Voynich	Coupling falls by a third, or order gain rises by 0.10 bits, under each treatment	normalised: coupling no, gain no; interior: coupling yes, gain no	Raw coupling 0.086, raw gain 0.31	28 Oct
RUN-252	Voynich	Four departures from language under raw, normalised and interior versions of half C	raw: h2 2.13, gain 0.31, coupling 0.086, 4-gram repeats 0; normalised: h2 2.08, gain 0.34, coupling 0.059, 4-gram repeats 0; interior: h2 2.04, gain 0.27, coupling 0.045, 4-gram repeats 0	Languages at the same length: h2 min 2.51, gain min 1.11, coupling max 0.096 (interior 0.059) · Latin in the same lines 233 4-gram repeats	28 Oct
RUN-251	Voynich	Share of the line-position information removed by the normaliser (half C)	68 %	Raw 0.1042 / 0.0589 · normalised 0.029 / 0.0224 · interior 0.0164 / 0.0059 · Latin in the same lines 0.003 / 0.002	28 Oct
