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

[ReneZ]

I don't see why it is a problem to pick a few random words in a stack of already written folios, enough to generate (maybe) a line per paragraph, or less. Why would it not work?

1. That does not work for the very beginning, which is my real interest
1a. It is still open whether there should be only a single initialisation or one per page or one per paragraph

2. Torsten's app seems to do only one global initialisation (I never checked this myself)

3. In later comments, Torsten suggested that paragraph-initial lines are taken from earlier paragraph initial lines, in order to cause the top line effect (f and p)

Whatever comes out, we need to keep in mind that this was not done by some modern automaton but by a medieval person who had no idea about several concepts that we always have in our heads (letter frequency, word frequency, word entropy), let alone worry about avoiding patterns.
