The individual colored patches are the five first JKR books, and the overlapping patch is The Methods of Rationality, plotted by chapter and book, vs the number of total words written. MoR is now longer than all the first four books put together. The reason I made the graph was I was wondering if those two individual EY statements (rot13′d in my statement above) were would add up to make more than one bit of information, but they did not.
If Eliezer finishes Methods of Rationality at 150% of current length, we’d end up midway into the sixth book.
I’m confused; you said you plotted the first five of JKR’s books, but you said that MoR’s longer than the first four books. The graph shows that MoR is longer than the first three books but halfway through the fourth.
And why did you graph five books when Mr. Yudkowsky says it won’t be longer than seven books? Shouldn’t you have done seven?
