Big assumption? Maybe) externalization process :: some mental faculty that decides the order to use when outputting thoughts into ordered strings (eg vocalization of thoughts into sentences) The thing is, you can put a probability theory onto anything…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/2305.18278/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.
