I'll just leave this here.

I wish to point out, since I've seen this story before, that in pic related I actually took the trouble to count up the thunders' letters (bottom center). A cruder analysis, but bothering to even do so is related to OP's thing.

It's just big algorithm showing that stream of consciousness have some sort of structure while it may not appear so.
At best, it is material for further cognitive science research in elucidating why they find such a pattern in a wide range of styles.

Didn't you know that /lit/ is just a daily cycle of posting the same things over and over?

Ya.... artists have always used fractal structures. It's what happens why you use an idea to structure something (e.g. a dramatic arc) and then keep on applying that structure at hierarchically layered levels (e.g. an act will have a dramatic arc, so will a scene, so will a dramatic beat). This isn't surprising to anyone.
