Re: VMs: Entropy, was WAR against EVA

["Larry Roux" <lroux@xxxxxxx>]

I added code to my to the program I sent results from earlier (re f103v) 

Interestingly I added code to count distinct words found in the text.  I ran it first for the original code (from the website).  I then ran it for the file I made where I changed t to ql, c's to e's, h's to i's, etc etc.

I thought it would produce a radically different word set.

In fact, it did not.  The total word count was 449 and the distinct word count was 325 - in BOTH cases.

It seems that the font (EVA) including glyphs that may, in fact, represent multiple letters does not change the word frequency at all.  This makes sense in a true language or an encryption with very specific rules...for instance, if you ALWAYS write "il" as "k" then the 2 are equivelent.  What this does prove (at least for this page) is that the rules are always followed.  So, if a word is considered an entity unto itself then the font does not seem to matter. 

Word Count:
ORIGINAL		ALTERED		
qokaiin	=	9	qoilaiin=	9
ar	=	8	ar	=	8
aiin	=	7	aiin	=	7
chol	=	7	eiol	=	7
okar	=	7	oilar	=	7
daiin	=	6	daiin	=	6
chedy	=	5	eiedy	=	5
chey	=	5	eiey	=	5
ol	=	5	ol	=	5
or	=	5	or	=	5
char	=	4	eiar	=	4
cheol	=	4	eieol	=	4
l	=	4	l	=	4
lkaiin	=	4	lilaiin	=	4
otaiin	=	4	oqlaiin	=	4
qodaiin	=	4	qodaiin	=	4
qokal	=	4	qoilal	=	4
etc...
