True. Also the shift in frequencies shows that the A to B phenomenon is not unique, it is only the most visible. There are other shifts, at various scales, that need an explanation as well. It is not as if the settings or parameters, whatever they are, only get changed once, or evolve gradually between A and B.
It is a big leap of faith to expect a straightforward mapping between A and B. Perhaps we should question the assumptions behind it, i.e. the verbose cipher hypothesis.
Hi nablator,
it seems we all agree that the phenomenon is complex and I believe that considering specific observations can be a good way to start exploring this complexity. Could you please tell us more about the "other shifts" you mentioned? Currier pointed out that the influence of the end of a word on the start of the following one is stronger in B than in A: while this could be part of the A and B phenomenon (being integral to the original description of the whole thing) it is different from a mere shift in frequencies.
But I think you have something still different in mind.
