f81r-f81v text layout - damaged page?
#3
Thank you, Koen! This is a great subject for further investigation!
In You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view., Nick Pelling quoted a 1996 exchange between Landini and Zandbergen about the idea that You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. is poetry.
In that mail thread, Adams Douglas noted:
Quote:It would be interesting to check the character statistics for those pages
as compared with the "prose" pages to see if there is any significant
differrence. Also, assuming the characters hold the same value at least
within a given page, once could presumably check for rhymes, alliteration
and other poetic devices.

Examining the last two characters of each line (in Takahashi's transcription), I think You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. might show some evidence of an alternating rhyming pattern (ABA), in particular where the -ly ending is involved.

You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
One can also note that line endings in You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. are more varied than in other pages.
The attached plot is based on the last two EVA characters in each line of pages at least 20 lines long.
You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. somehow stands out as having 19% of alternating "rhymes" and the most frequent line ending only appearing 22% of the times. You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. has a slighter higher percentage of alternation (22%) but all occurrences of the pattern are based on -in, which ends 52% of the lines. I guess that a random ordering of lines half of which end with -in can easily result in coincidental occurrences of -in, -X, -in.
Alternation in You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. involves three different endings: -in, -ly and -dy: it seems less likely to be coincidental.

Please note that this measure is not particularly reliable: it is based on what I observed in this specific page, so it is designed ad-hoc to highlight that You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. could indeed be "special". f81r is not much distant from the main cluster that includes most other pages. Moreover, I could have made some mistake, as it often happens.


Anyway, I think that what Adams Douglas proposed 22 years ago could well be worth pursuing...
