We consider a class of multiplicative processes which, added with stochastic reset events, give origin to stationary distributions with power-law tails -- ubiquitous in the statistics of social, economic, and ecological systems.

We conclude that uncoordinated changes in human behavior can, by themselves, explain major qualitative and quantitative features of the epidemic process, as the emergence of multiple waves and the tendency to remain around $R=1$ observed worldwide after the first few waves of COVID-19.

We study the relationship between vocabulary size and text length in a corpus of $75$ literary works in English, authored by six writers, distinguishing between the contributions of three grammatical classes (or ``tags,'' namely, {\it nouns}, {\it verbs}, and {\it others}), and analyze the progressive appearance of new words of each tag along each individual text.

Quantitative linguistics has been allowed, in the last few decades, within the admittedly blurry boundaries of the field of complex systems.
