A key to understand the VMS

[Emma May Smith]

Hi Torsten, the key problem with your approach is, still, that you've failed to definite 'similarity'. You say 'edit distance' with the meaning that one character is added, deleted, or changed. But not all edits are equal as many result in invalid words.

There is, as I pointed out in reply to your 2014 paper, an underlying logic of how words are constructed. Edits are typically valid only within this existing structure. So, for example, if you wanted to add [e] to the word [chol], the only valid result would be [cheol]. The words [echol], [choel], and [chole] simply don't exist.

You must explain where this structure comes from and why. You cannot, as you have sought to do in the past, wave it away as the creator's whim.
