It is well known that the dynamical evolution of a system of N spins can be
viewed as a walk along the edges of an N-dimensional hypercube. I use this
correspondence in an infinite-range spin system to derive a diffusion equa
tion for the magnetization. The diffusion equation then leads to an ordinar
y differential equation that describes the time evolution of the magnetizat
ion for any given initial condition, and it is used to derive both static a
nd dynamic properties of the spin system.
