Similarity Derived from Periphery Codes

apparently the binary codes do not well discriminate among most similar 

In order to arrive at a more selective index of similarity we have extended the comparison of codes by considering longer sequences of digits in the binary codes that are compared. This would be tedious to do by hand, but by using a computer program one can easily derive a revised similarity/dissimilarity table. The new table (Table 

31) shows a greater discrimination among the shapes. Of the initial 28 pairs of the most similar shapes when the comparison was based on matching of single entries of two codes (Table 30), now only the following 8 pairs remain the most similar (at distance five)  

Similarly, instead of the five least similar cases of Table 30, now we find only a single such case (the pair H, S). 

Measures of the first kind those that gauge the extent to which a chiroid object differs from an achiral object
