Conditional Structure and Generative Dependencies in Voynich Tokens: A Prefix–Core–Suffix Analysis

This record presents the study: "Conditional Structure and Generative Dependencies in Voynich Tokens: A Prefix–Core–Suffix Analysis" This work investigates the internal generative structure of Voynich tokens using a prefix–core–suffix decomposition framework. It evaluates conditional dependencies between token components through entropy measures, prediction accuracy, and controlled structure-breaking experiments. The results demonstrate a strong asymmetric dependency structure, where suffix selection is highly predictable from the core, while prefix provides weaker constraints. These findings support a structured probabilistic generation mechanism underlying the Voynich token system.
