Abstract
We present exact results for two complementary measures of spatial str ucture generated by one-dimensional spin systems with finite-range int eractions. The first, excess entropy, measures the apparent spatial me mory stored in configurations. The second, statistical complexity, mea sures the amount of memory needed to optimally predict the chain of sp in values in configurations. These statistics capture distinct propert ies and are different from existing thermodynamic quantities.
