RE: A key to understand the VMS - -JKP- - 23-02-2017
Sam, I'm not discounting the possibility of natural language, but I am skeptical. Three things would have to be seriously examined (or manipulated) for this to work like natural language... the spaces have to be taken with a grain of salt. If the spaces are not literal, then there appear to be nulls. Even after assigning nulls (and there are some good candidates), and taking a flexible approach to the spaces, there are still positional constraints that are unique to the VMS.
I'm not saying the text is meaningless. In fact, I think there may be something there. But it is not structured like natural language. Inserting vowel-like glyphs at regular intervals does not guarantee they are vowels and I think one of the difficulties for many people is thinking of them as shapes rather than vowels until their actual function is demonstrated.
