Hi Emma,
because he was free to do anything he was liking. This also implies that he was free not to do certain things.
If his intention was to write something similar to language he was limited to his concept of language. In the same way he was limited to his concept of aesthetics, to the limitations of the writing material and to the limitations of the copying process.
For instance because of his concept of language he preferred words of a certain length. Because of his concept of aesthetics he added line initial gallow glyphs and preferred certain glyph combination and avoided others. Because of the limitations of the writing material he had to shorten the words at the end of the lines. Because of the limitations of the copying process all the words in the VMS are more or less similar to the most frequent word 'daiin' (see footnote 11 on page 7 in You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.). The length of 'daiin' by using the EVA transcription is 5. That the words are connected to each other also determines the distribution of the word length for token and types (see p. 21 - 23 in You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.). Etc.
That he is not limited to a given set of rules also implies that he was able to learn during the writing process. This results in a shift from the language used at the beginning of the writing (Currier A) to the language used at the end (Currier B). For instance in Currier A he was using the bigram 'od' whereas in Currier B he preferred the bigram 'ed' for otherwise the same words (see p. 24 in You are not allowed to view links.
