Yea - I know (yuckey-pooo!) No kiss's, _just pizza's_ lol

Entropy: ( on this list/ REF vms etc :)

MEASURE of "IT's" _RANDOMNESS_ of Character(s)!


(AND their positions in what ever MS you look at? 



NOTE: Random is NOT percent % count.

or

(Character(s) appeareance (in total/or COMPARED to total vms others)
as
compared to VMS total Characters... (aaarrGGGggggg) see it's a BAD
word - BAD (ha.haa)


THINK Percentages occurrences (but lose the 100% total PIE etc?..)

But, include its placement of occurance (front /back/ middle mostly
etc.. in the VMS, and you should be able to sense vms "entropy".



 ( I HATE the word "entropy" myself )

['EVA' is _not_ much "friendlier" to the newbee's/ or veterans]


i.e. -

E is the MOST COMMON letter in "ENGLISH" sooooo "IT's 'entropy' IS
HIGHER then say letters like X,Y,Z etc...


so an UNKOWN 'script' about ZE_bras in the ZOO (the script itself)
would have HIGHER "Z" entropy then say "Edison's electric" Who never
uses even a "Z" unless it's ZZZZZZaaaaaPPPP!!!!" etc.. (see Edison
Electric Chair vs Westinghouse"

usually ??


Get IT? - Got IT? - GOOD!!!


Best to you & yours

 I had your problem once. With time I more or
 less figured out what the people in the mailing 
 list were talking about and the summary, valid
 only to this restricted topic, is in:
 http://www.voynich.nu/a_intro.html#entropy
 
 Hope that it helps.
 If anyone finds any gross errors in what I wrote
 there, do not hesitate....
 
 Cheers, Rene
