Synopsis Invited Feedback Importance (/10, author rated :-) )
One of a pair of papers which demonstrate that the conservation of information in discrete systems such as software acts as a hidden clockwork forcing component size distributions, (functions etc.) to follow the same power-law distribution whoever built them. whatever they do and whatever technology they use.

As of 2013, the resulting predicted power-law distribution has been validated on 100 million lines of code to no less than 8 sigma, which is 3 more than the Higgs boson at the time of writing. Its pretty likely to be true then.
