Translation/Twin Earth/PoundstoneVsPutnam Version: e.g. assume there is a text of Schiller: "The Maid of Orleans". - But a translation would be Urfaust. - Then we could have a slogan: "meanings are not in the book".
>Meaning/Putnam, >Meanings ain't in the head, >Twin Earth.
Vs: such a translation would not be possible because the word frequencies would give the same pattern in each translation.
Cf. >Theorem of Löwenheim.
Solution: Algorithm completely modified the text.
N.B.: there is no evidence that the Voynich manuscript is not a translation of a known text.
>Proofs, >Provability.
