Imagine, that ho and ed are somewhat mutually exclusive (for example, they are a spelling variation, one scribe writes "color" the other "colour", but sometimes they are mindlessly coping from each other's drafts and use the opposite spelling). Imagine the book speaks about colors a lot. This would lead to overabundance of trigram "our" on some pages and "lor" on other pages. You can sort them by "our"/"lor" and of course you will get a smooth transition. This doesn't mean anything for the order of writing. Whenever you sort many random numbers taken from a range, you will get a smooth curve. The below is a graph produced by creating 200 tuples (A, B) where A+B = 100, but otherwise the numbers are random, and then sorting by A/B.
You are correct. Two random tuples would produce exactly that. But you forgot the boolean. That chart is not measuring 2 things, it's measuring 3. So, taking your same tuple math with a random boolean attached, I get this.
That is not what my chart shows.
