-JKP-, I just wanted to say how much I respect the enormous amounts of time and energy you have invested in parsing the text of the VMS from scratch. I'm speaking here not only of the cataloging and inventorying the connections (or lack thereof) between vords, but also the making of your own full transcription. I'd have to say you're probably one of the most qualified people alive to weigh in on what the VMS contains, textually.
The vord-cataloging project you mention in this thread is a project I was considering doing, and it makes me happy to see that someone has beat me to it (and probably stuck with it longer than I would have!). I may yet come up with a similar project that builds upon the work you've already done, though. I'd be interested in running any such ideas by you first, to make sure that I'm not repeating work you've already done, or falsifying hypotheses you've already falsified.
