I have generated (counted up and done the math) a few statistics for the list of words repeated two or more times in the VMS and deconstructed at my Fumblydiddles.com site:
There are slightly less than 2,400 words on the list.
They account for most of the total words in the VMS - more than 85%.
The words on the list are composed of a Code I code followed by 1 or more (sometimes none) of about 55 other codes that seem to somehow modify the Code I codes.
Of the slightly less than 2,400 words, about 20% contain a modifying code from Group II or Group III.
There are 20 members of Groups II and III.
If those twenty members are removed from the total of about 55 modifying codes, the remainder is 35 codes.
This means about 1,900 of the 2,400 repeated words in the VMS can be constructed using a Code I code followed by from 0 to 3 other code group members of which there are only 35 total members.
And those 35 other codes seem to appear in a strict order - Group I, then Group IV (if present), then Group V (if present), then Group VI (if present). The codes from each Code Group are not represented twice in any word, nor do they appear in words in any other order.
The almost 2,400 words seem to show only a few modifying codes (35) with which a great majority of the repeated words (about 1,900 - about 80%) can be composed.
That seems like a small number to me, but the results show it to be true.
If some other solution is proposed by another person (or me), I think it has to make some sort of provision for the above statistics.
Thank you.
