a tendency to form habits. These habits
produce statistical uniformities.
When the number of
instances entering into the statistics are
small compared with the degree of their
variation, the law will be extremely rough,
but when the number runs up into the
trillions, that is to say cubes of millions,
or much higher, as in the case of molecules,
there are no departures from the law that our
senses can take cognizance of. You will
find one such rough uniformity illustrated
in two maps in ‘Studies in Logic by
Members of the Johns Hopkins University’'.
