Hi Dr Mason
I looked at yr scrambled poem, and found I could read it without trying to work it out at all, like reading text!
Do you think the way you scrambled it was important?

Hi Mike,
I’d really like to explore the “parameter space” of our ability to de-scramble, to get the gestalt and not sweat the details. For example, how many letters could I replace and how far off can the replacements be from the original letters? What spacing is important? How tolerant would we be of deletions? and so on.
But I have to think of a clever way of doing it. Haven’t so far….
