   String theorists occasionally refer to the \_dictionary_/ being built up   
   as a logical way of translating between the operator physics on a lower   
   dimensional CFT/QFT boundary and the higher dimensional bulk physics it   
   is dual to.  To the extent that the dictionary represents logical   
   language, is there any sense in which the languages represented might   
   have a Zipf slope of -1 and a higher order Shannon (entropy) Index*?   
      
   * In general, all human languages, English, German, Swahili and so on,   
   have a Zipf slope of -1, and higher order Shannon Index of 7-8.  Ie:   
   Given a string of words (~operators?), in order to have a fair chance of   
   predicting which word might follow that string, 7 to 8 words are needed;   
   no less.  This is one measure of the complexity/sophistication of human   
   languages.
