*afaik*, the idea is simple: order-1 Markov chain is just text
generated with respect of probability of each char, and order-n is a
text generated using probability of each char in context of previous
n-1 chars. you just need to gather stats using previous papers :)

you can use this idea both to generate new naturally-looking words and
to gather stats about words itself and generate naturally-looking
sentences
