Need advice for testing of hypotheses related to the self-citation method

Thanks, but I already wrote the program to count patterns of type 1a, 1b, 2a, 2b in each page a few months ago. Now I am looking for something to do next.

Sending encouragement. Do keep going. I got stuck about here, myself and haven't figured-out what would actually be useful to code. It's easy to count things, it's not easy reverse-engineer this process--and even if we can get close to the ruleset used, I wonder how that helps. Hmm, maybe it serves to distinguish regions with potential for deciphering and regions that seem less likely to yield plaintext. Producing a some kind of a score for that might help other people focus their efforts.
