Why is Zipf's law literally fucking everywhere? Is this evidence for intelligent design?
>>
>>8760925
That's pareto's law
>>
>>8761400
This OP
You can calculate the entropy for all of those distributions and find that they are merely a consequence of entropy's tendency to go towards a maximum.
>>
>>8760925
It's more of a cool rule of thumb desu.
>>
>>8760925
>>8761400
>>8761440
Better question:

Why isnt everything adherent to paretos law?
>>
>>8761440
What happens when entropy reaches its maximum?
>>
>>8761467
Passwords get really hard to guess
>>
>>8761455
Because it only applies to macroscopic systems that act freely. A lot of systems are either not large enough or subjected to too much outside intervention to act freely.
>>
>>8761467
The distribution IS the result of the maximal entropy.
>>
>>8761467
The difficulty of predicting the next symbol emitted by the random source is maximized.
>>
>>8761477
(Because each symbol is equiprobable)

most shitposts are made by the same canadian asshole who also shitposts on /int/ and /pol/ 24/7
I recognized his pattern
