hose who want more background on the formation of power laws, log-normal laws and related processes, there are three very good background papers by Newman [Newman 2005], Mitzenmacher [Mitzenmacher 2004] and Simkin & Roychowdhury [Simkin & Roychowdhury 2006]. The papers by Newman and Mitzenmacher give

o produce a simple Lotka-Volterra macroeconomic model. This basic model generates endogenous boom and bust business cycles of the sort described by Minsky and Austrian economists. From this model an exact formula for the Bowley ratio; the ratio of returns to labour to total returns, is derived. This f

fact that many power law distributions have values between two and three even though they arise from substantially different underlying models (see Newman table 1 for example [Newman 2005]). Indeed Dewar points out that many very chaotic systems; systems close to 'self organised criticality' such as e

This suggests that, just as central banks are expected to control changes in the money supply caused by fractional reserve banking, it seems appro

ons of a human mind,” Hillis wrote at the start of his PhD thesis a few years later. “A thinking machine.”188 What Hillis and others like his mentor Marvin Minsky, realized was that the human brain works differently than machine logic. Life, after all, is not a series of linear math problems. (Much as we might
