Computer and natural language texts - A comparison based on long-range correlations

"Long-range power low correlation" (LRC) is defined as a maximal propagatio n distance of the effect of some disturbance within a system found in many systems that can be represented as strings of symbols. LRC between characte rs has also been identified in natural language texts; The aim of this arti cle is to show that long-range power law correlation can also be found in c omputer programs, meaning that some common laws hold for both natural langu age texts and computer programs. This fact enables one to draw parallels be tween these two different types of human writings, and also enables one to measure the differences between them.
