Power-laws and the Conservation of Information in discrete token systems: Part 2 The role of defect
نویسنده
چکیده
In a matching paper [16], I proved that Conservation of Size and Information in a discrete token based system is overwhelmingly likely to lead to a power-law component size distribution with respect to the size of its unique alphabet. This was substantiated to a very high level of significance using some 55 million lines of source code of mixed provenance. The principle was also applied to show that average gene length should be constant in an animal kingdom where the same constraints appear to hold, the implication being that Conservation of Information plays a similar role in discrete token-based systems as the Conservation of Energy does in physical systems. In this part 2, the role of defect will be explored and a functional behaviour for defect derived to be consistent with the power-law behaviour substantiated above. This will be supported by further experimental data and the implications explored.

Power-Laws and the Conservation of Information in discrete token systems: Part 1 General Theory
The Conservation of Energy plays a pivotal part in the development of the physical sciences. With the growth of computation and the study of other discrete token based systems such as the genome, it is useful to ask if there are conservation principles which apply to such systems and what kind of functional behaviour they imply for such systems. Here I propose that the Conservation of Hartley-S...
متن کاملThe comparison of two high-order semi-discrete central schemes for solving hyperbolic conservation laws
This work presents two high-order, semi-discrete, central-upwind schemes for computing approximate solutions of 1D systems of conservation laws. We propose a central weighted essentially non-oscillatory (CWENO) reconstruction, also we apply a fourth-order reconstruction proposed by Peer et al., and afterwards, we combine these reconstructions with a semi-discrete central-upwind numerical flux ...
