The Law of Inverse Frequency

The Law of Inverse Frequency states that the likelihood of an event occurring is inversely proportional to how often it has occurred before. In simple terms, the more frequent an event has been, the less likely it is to happen again soon; conversely, rare events are more likely to happen. This principle helps explain patterns in various fields, such as natural phenomena and social behaviors, suggesting that rarity increases the probability of recurrence, while common occurrences tend to stabilize or decrease in frequency over time.
