Literary notes about stochastic (AI summary)

The term "stochastic" is often used to emphasize randomness and probabilistic behavior within a range of contexts. In one narrative, it is applied to linguistic patterns, suggesting that the likelihood of certain letters following others can be formally analyzed [1]. Elsewhere, it intermingles with quantum concepts to create a futuristic notion where the boundaries between reality and virtual constructs become blurred [2]. In another instance, stochastic methods are employed to bring order to chaos, enabling even seemingly disjoint systems to be expressed through orderly mathematical forms like Fourier Series [3].
  1. Stochastic analysis says that if the letter "U" follows the letter "Q" in most cases, words beginning with "Q" will have "U" for a second letter.
    — from Instinct by George O. (George Oliver) Smith
  2. With the advent of stochastic and quantum virtual reality generators - the distinction between "real" and "virtual" will fade.
    — from Moral Deliberations in Modern Cinema by Samuel Vaknin
  3. Bedlam is subject to the laws of periodicity, stochastic analysis, and with some rather brilliant manipulation it can be reduced to a Fourier Series.
    — from Instinct by George O. (George Oliver) Smith
