Dynastic dynamics: Modelling powerful naming choices with stochastic prestige
Pablo Rosillo-Rodes, Santiago Lamata-OtÃn, David Soriano-Paños +2
The naming choices of powerful rulers encode millennia of cultural, political, and institutional influences. Consequently, the long-term onomastic dynamics within some of the most…
Simon's model does not produce Zipf's law: The fundamental rich-get-richer mechanism for any power-law size ranking
Pablo Rosillo-Rodes, Julia Witte Zimmerman, Laurent Hébert-Dufresne +1
Many complex systems are composed of disparate, interacting types of varying sizes: Species abundances in ecosystems, firm sizes in markets, city populations in countries, word cou…
Complete asymptotic type-token relationship for growing complex systems with inverse power-law count rankings
Pablo Rosillo-Rodes, Laurent Hébert-Dufresne, Peter Sheridan Dodds
The growth dynamics of complex systems often exhibit statistical regularities involving power-law relationships. For real finite complex systems formed by countable tokens (animals…
Statistical laws and linguistics differ in naturalistic video and fictional conversations
Ashley M. A. Fehr, Calla G. Beauregard, Julia Witte Zimmerman +4
Conversation is a cornerstone of social connection and is linked to well-being outcomes. Conversations vary widely in type with some portion generating complex, dynamic stories. On…
