statistics · data
a collection of data where numbers per item are regular
Examples
- The U.S. Census counts every resident every ten years to update population statistics by state and county. institutions
- The Large Hadron Collider records billions of particle collisions, producing statistics on decay rates of Higgs bosons. physics
- New York City’s subway system logs daily ridership numbers, forming statistics on usage per line and station over time. engineering
Emergence
through: data are gathered and numbers per item are compared to reveal regular patterns
- frequency-based structure
- quantified regularity
- item-wise numerical comparison
