Register or Login to view.It is not written down specifically (and it is again something that I wanted to double-check) but it seems to be implied that every word in the MS (after the initialisation) is the result of auto-copying. That is, there are no words that are 'new seeds' or incidental re-initialisations.
(I have asked earlier in this thread about this, but I think that this question was understood in a different way).
In any case, these points clarify that the initialisation procedure is too important just not to mention.
Then, if this assumption (no new seeds) is true, one could verify the auto-copying hypothesis by checking for each word in the MS if there is a recent (how far back?) similar word (which max. edit distance?) from which it could be derived.
This seems to be the most basic test of the method

Why to form a new word, can’t just take any character from the Eva alphabet and insert (change) anywhere in the base word, is it easier and faster to create a meaningless text? And they strictly adhere to certain rules that ensure the existence of invalid combinations of characters.
