I wrote a quick C++ program to show Letter frequency counts, Word counts,
first letter of words, last letter of words and a Contact Chart.
I have been sending each page of text from the voy to the program and
recording the results.
Having completed 74 pages, I am finding a very interesting trend...
I realize that it is hard to get definitive results from small sets such as
the 1 or 2 paragraphs on each page, but for the letter frequency counts I am
seeing a pattern where consecutive
pages are very similar - especially as one moves further into the
manuscript.
For example, here are the top 5 characters (descending order) for some
pages:
f24r o h c
a e
f24v o h c d a f25r h i c
o a
f25v o i h c a f26r e y d
h o
f26v e y d o h f27r h c y
o e
f27v h c o y d f28r o h c
t y
f28v o h i c y v29r h o c
y s
f29v h o c y i f30r h c o
e y
f30v h c o i y f31r e y o
d h
f31v e o h y a ...
f76r e y h
o d
f76v e y d h o I have this all in a spreadsheet with the top 7 characters colorized and
the effect is quite striking.
After I get another bunch through I will post the results to the web and
let others see if they see what I see.
