A key to understand the VMS

[Davidsch]

TORSTEN:
Your write about words repeated within a line. A finding of me was that similar words can be found above each other twice as often as they can be found side by side [see You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.].

You write that the VMS did not contain a randomly created language. I also come to the conclusion that the text from the VMS is far from being random. For instance I wrote about "a pattern for the usage of similar words. They are not randomly distributed within the VMS but are used on the same pages next to each other" [You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.]. 

I didn't see any contradiction.

I agree that the text is not random.
A year ago I still thought the text was a language text, the horizontal repeats (together with my other research) shows that the text is not a language.

The difference between my conclusion and yours is this: my conclusion is based on comparing languages and texts. 
Not 1 not 3 but about 50-100 large corpora from different languages and time frames have been compared. 
Based on that you can draw conclusions.

You found vertical repeats as well. Yes, I can see them but the relation between vertical repeats and the horizontal is imo a far fetch: for example the words have not been aligned vertically.  But perhaps I will run stats on those as well in the future.
