No.  Your rules need much explanation, for one thing.  Also, the idea of
each word having a unique pattern is somewhat suspicious.  In reality,
it would be more reasonable for parts of speach (which, as you say, is
not actually eliminated) to have common patterns, which would be
included in the grammar.  In addition, there are very likely a number of
unstated assumptions you have, which may not be obvious to another
person.
