Marke Fincher's Word Pair Permutation Analysis

[nablator]

Hi Michelle,

This article is interesting but it is nowhere near a proof of transposition. Because 1) it assumes a one-to-one mapping between vords and the words of a natural language, 2) it is possible to find texts (mostly poetry in my experience, but more tests are needed to really know) with few words that repetitively link to other nearby words, at the same distance, because the author was careful to use varied formulas for building sentences.
