The substitution changes with position in the line (a line-keyed or position-keyed alphabet), so that the same plaintext at the same offset in different lines appears as glyph-disjoint isomorphs.
Where it stands
Ruled outNone pieces of evidence for, one against.
What it predicts
- consecutive lines coincide at matched positions more than random line pairs
- beyond what shuffling words within lines preserves; glyph-disjoint isomorph pairs occur at matched line positions more often than in the within-line word shuffle
Evidence none for · 1 against
