Keep in mind that the VMS token strings fulfill both of Zipf’s laws. This fact is frequently seen as important evidence for the presence of human language and that vords are words (see You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.). A different mapping would also result in changed statistics. Therefore the mapping should preserve the word frequencies. Otherwise a different explanation for the observed word frequencies is neeeded.
