Abstract

The measure of perfection of the contents and semantic value of an integrated text is connected with the indicators of perfection in the distribution of content words. This criterion is the coordination of their “frequency-rank” distribution with the Zipf or Zipf-Mandelbrot law. In this chapter the hypothesis verified is that a perfect system should have not only perfect distribution of its elements - objects, but also perfect connections between them. A model is suggested in which the degree of the text perfection from the point of view of the quality of connections between significative words is determined by the quality of distribution of syntactic and link words in the “rank - frequency” representation. As a simplified criterion the ratio of the significant and syntactic words used in the analyzed text and the degree of the closeness of this ratio to the “golden section” is considered.
