Spaces and Entropy

[Emma May Smith]

Thanks, Koen.

Though I understand the idea behind conditional entropy, I find it hard to intuit quite how a change to the text would affect the measure.

I appreciate that you have probably run quite a few experiments on the text making alterations and measuring the results. Can I ask if you've split glyphs and what the affect was? By "split", I mean something like: randomly replacing [o] with either of two new glyphs [o1] and [o2].

I'm curious because we know that combining glyphs which are in complementary distribution increases h2. So surely creating glyphs which are in contrastive distribution should also increase h2? Or have I misunderstood something?
