I think Obelus' little graphs to the right are a nice addition to the visualization.
Considering sentence structure is interesting, and perhaps the most obvious solution to LAAFU, after all sentences are structural units as well. But Marco mentions the most important objections to this possibility.
I think especially the fact that the VM text fills up the available space is interesting in this regard. This is another of the VM's paradoxes: the text fills up the space like water, but its lines have rigid properties. It's like a liquid and a solid at the same time
I guess this impression might be an effect of generalization, and closer inspection of relevant tokens vs margin behavior could reveal something else though, but as far as I'm aware the VM only leaves a right-side indent at the end of a paragraph.
