Words will in fact become emergent entities using adaptations of this construct with some time/training, and with even more time/training, sentence structure will also start to emerge. It doesn't even matter what language you are using. Interactive training isn't even necessary unless you want to reduce the number of iterations. I will warn you ahead of time though, that the real trick is the design of the actual software. All data structures/algorithms described in literature thus far are naive and don't scale at all to even vaguely interesting levels of complexity. It can be done, but you'll have to do some original work to make it viable. :-) BTW, although the Li/Vitanyi book is expensive (I get all my Springer-Verlag stuff for free), it is heavily referenced in other papers on the subject and is designed as a graduate-level textbook, which makes it both accessible and a good reference. If you are serious about pursuing this line of thought, it is about as good a book as you'll find on that area of mathematics. It isn't deeply speculative, but it gives you the foundations for everything you'll need to know so that YOU can be deeply speculative. ;-) I don't use my copy much any more, but it is a good bible to have around.
