Register or Login to view.I have 1100 pages of information like this (a concordance of the location and behavior of every pattern in the VMS), plus a related database, plus a color-coded transcript, plus a lot of statistical information for each. It would probably take me a year to write it all up.
JKP, I'm hoping someday you can get a think tank together to sit down with you and go over all this raw data, and brainstorm some new ideas for how to mine it, parse it, and arrange it to look for deeper patterns. I know several times you've said you couldn't find any helpful leads in any of the token occurrence patterns. Coming from someone multitalented and multilingual who knows the VMS as intimately as some know their Torah or Qu'ran, that's not encouraging. But if there really are any second-level patterns to the patterns you noted (and ultimately meaningful symbolic language), it's possible that there is someone out there whose perceptual and cognitive filters are better primed to detect them than the data-collector himself.
But the question then becomes, what do they have to gain (and lose) by trying to interpret your data? And what do you have to gain (and lose) by letting them? Not fun questions to wrestle with, don't get me wrong.
