Adding to this digression, here is text generated by sampling the fourth-order correlation matrix (each succeeding character selected according to the preceding trigram):

The source was Currier B paragraph text from the Takahashi IT transcription (140204 tokens). There is no separate rule for spaces; they are treated as part of the unmodified EVA set. Already at this level of correlation, preferred word break combinations seem to be emerging (y.q n.ch etc). Only 2/167 of the generated words contain two gallows. Fully 142/167 of the word tokens are present verbatim in the source. The remainders are
Shekchdy, tolor, rchdy, omolShey, olkear, otchorol, karaly, dchedeey, Shedyo, otaiil, olalchkalches, qoteedair, darorar, pychedy, tchdar, aldShedy, laiikam, qoetchy, tcheokedeedy, tary, okolkeey, lShlchep, okaoy, rSheody, qoto
...but every component 4-mer must exist somewhere in the source in order to have an entry in the correlation matrix. So as the correlation depth approaches the typical word length, the slot-based generalizations will become valid. With increasing order, the matrices become increasingly sparse, until sampling the 140204-th order matrix yields the unique complete source text. In this rather dry sense, the higher-order matrices descriptively account for all patterns, and provide no explanations.
