Well, we can do an experiment

we can for instance try to see if some famous sentence has some improbabilities similar to the improbabilities of Gen1.1

we can for example analyze this famous sentence

“Everyone has the right to life liberty and security of person�

(Article 3 - Universal Declaration of Human Rights - On December 10, 1948 the General Assembly of the United Nations adopted and proclaimed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights)

this is a sentence of 11 words and 51 letters

Everyone 1
Has 2
The 3
Right 4
To 5
Life 6
Liberty 7
And 8
Security 9
Of 10
Person 11


E 1
V 2
E 3
R 4
Y 5
O 6
N 7
E 8

E 14
R 15
I 16
G 17
H 18
T 19

O 21
L 22
I 23
F 24
E 25

I 27
B 28
