>>13270594Rank-distributions follow an inverse power law because when we do things we use the next thing half as much so when you make a set by what you use, and what you use next is half as much as the set gets bigger, the movement from rank to rank norms to an inverse power law. So although a set by what is norms linear, by how it is used norms IPL because the things we do we do over and over. Since we make sets ontologically by what they are but also teleologically by what they are used for, the two main rank-distributions will be linear and inverse power. So it has to do with what we use as well as what things are to us.
