We argue that the variance of the information content (), an information-theoretic quantity, can be naturally interpreted as a measure of statistical complexity. We show that $C…

The emergence of heavy-tailed statistics in complex systems is conventionally attributed to non-local stochastic jumps or non-Markovian memory. Here, we present a one-dimensional r…
