But I don't see how it could relate to the VMS. While there have been many proposed and statistically confirmed models for the structure of words, AFAIK there have been no significant findings about the "grammar" -- how words can be put together and parsed into sentences (which would yield the relations, analogies, affirmations etc. that Córdoba's work is all about).
Moreover, even if one does not accept the SPS≈SBJ claim, one should be aware that even parag-formatted text may have a non-grammatical formulaic structure, like a mere list of diseases, or a table-like list of attributes (like "flavor:bitter-sweet, bitter aftertaste; potency: mostly high; form: powder, flakes, grains; humors: phlegmatic, choleric; planet: Trappist-1e; pokémon character: pikachu of course; sources: Dioscorides, Ea-Nasir; harvest time: jony to octembre" Except of course in random order, with randomly omitted fields, random substitutions by synonyms ... and random errors. And no punctuation, of course.
