Guttman horseshoes appear when there is a dominant sequential ordering. why text would experience a dominant sequential ordering. I've shared textbooks and multiple papers that describe this effect.
Its true 'time' may not be the dominant sequential ordering, but I have yet to discover such a signal in Text where that wasn't the case. I'm happy to look at any examples someone might suggest.
In the horseshoe thread, you can see examples of books with different topics, orthographic shifts, and more. The only example text statistics exhibited a horseshoe was napiers casebooks, which were written as a log over several years, and the horseshoe verifiably tracked time in that case.
