Statistical mechanics of letters in words.
We consider words as a network of interacting letters, and approximate the probability distribution of states taken on by this network. Despite the intuition that the rules of English spelling are highly combinatorial and arbitrary, we find that maximum entropy models consistent with pairwise correlations among letters provide a surprisingly good approximation to the full statistics of words, c...
متن کاملToward a statistical mechanics of four letter words
We consider words as a network of interacting letters, and approximate the probability distribution of states taken on by this network. Despite the intuition that the rules of English spelling are highly combinatorial (and arbitrary), we find that maximum entropy models consistent with pairwise correlations among letters provide a surprisingly good approximation to the full statistics of four l...
متن کاملCritical Exponents of Words over 3 Letters
For all α ≥ RT (3) (where RT (3) = 7/4 is the repetition threshold for the 3-letter alphabet), there exists an infinite word over 3 letters whose critical exponent is α.
متن کاملPerception of letters, words, and nonwords.
Letter vs. word and word vs. nonword identification were compared, with redundancy adequately controlled. The processing time of the test st imulus was varied to provide a number of levels of correct performance. The first experiment showed that letters were recognized better when presented alone than when embedded in words. In the second experiment, the identification of letters in words did n...
متن کاملJustification in Statistical Mechanics
According to a standard view of the second law of thermodynamics, our belief in the second law can be justified by pointing out that low entropy macrostates are less probable than high entropy macrostates, and then noting that a system in an improbable state will tend to evolve toward a more probable state. I would like to argue that this justification of the second law of thermodynamics is fun...
