摘要:

幂律普遍存在于自然现象和社会现象中,被认为是不同社会系统的频率与等级之间的普遍关系。然而,仍然缺乏一个通用的模型来解释为什么这些看似不相关的系统具有很大的相似性。通过对自然语言文本的详细分析和基于“层次选择模型”的仿真实验,我们发现层次的存在和人类对最高层次的追求导致了幂律。此外,幂律是等级制度的统计和涌现表现,正是等级制度的普遍性促成了幂律的普遍存在。

英文摘要:

The power law is ubiquitous in natural and social phenomena, and is considered as a universal relationship between the frequency and its rank for diverse social systems. However, a general model is still lacking to interpret why these seemingly unrelated systems share great similarity. Through a detailed analysis of natural language texts and simulation experiments based on the proposed 'Hierarchical Selection Model', we found that the existence of hierarchies and human's pursuit of top hierarchy lead to the power law. Further, the power law is a statistical and emergent performance of hierarchies, and it is the universality of hierarchies that contributes to the ubiquity of the power law.
