RE: Century Old Mystery of The Zipf's Law (And A Cool Experiment)

This is so cool!

It could lead one to believe we ARE in a matrix. 😵 I mean, everything always seems to work out perfectly mathematically.

Can you explain what you mean by the months, planets, etc. also having this quality? The pics are too tiny for me to see what's going on in the graph.

I understand plotting the frequency of word but don't quite know how OTHER things are plotted using this.

It's a frequency thing... but what 'frequency' is measured in the planets to come to this conclusion?

Regarding elements. Is that how often they appear in nature compared to the next?

Thanks for being so smart, man. I really appreciate your posts.

haha yea thats always a possibility

about the months, planets,... it refers to their names occurrences also within texts, like how frequently they would show in the text compared to their ranks, which kinda defies mathematical randomness. Sorry couldn't find a higher resolution image.

For the plotting, it is just the frequency of occurrence vs the rank (which is the top, second, and so on and so forth...), other graphs are using logarithmic function of said frequency for plotting too

For occurrence in nature/elements, apparently zipf's law can correlate to tons of things, this could be an aspect.

Awww and thank you for being so awesome !
