Thank you for the comments, I need to discuss these ideas, it helps a lot!
I need to generate texts to see what is the effect of using consistent patterns for selection of sources. This could potentially explain how word ordering preferences are preserved, why the first and last words of lines are different, etc. Much depends on the rules for evolving words (if there are any rules, there doesn't need to be an exact algorithm). So there can be no perfect solution, only models that fit the VM better than others. Much to experiment.
The transfer of words (how many is an interesting question) from other pages to the blank page creates an evolutionary bottleneck, the result is that the statistics are skewed, sometimes extremely so. This can be simulated and compared to the VM to evaluate how many are needed.
Since the list of most frequent words is inconsistent from one section to another there doesn't need to be a constraining mechanism, the most frequent words are what they are.

Quote:I have often wondered about the initialisation method. After all, the self-citation explains (in a way) how to set up the 'next' word from a previous section, but I never saw anything about how to start.
Can one detect how many words are needed for the initialisation?
Only once? Once per page? Once per paragraph?

Quote:Another thing I have been curious about is how the most frequent words come about.
Are these part of the initialisation, or are they always appearing as a result of modification of previous words? So far, I have not been able to find a good answer, but your experimentation might...
