  In a matching paper (arXiv:1207.5027), I proved that Conservation of Size and
Information in a discrete token based system is overwhelmingly likely to lead
to a power-law component size distribution with respect to the size of its
unique alphabet. This was substantiated to a very high level of significance
using some 55 million lines of source code of mixed provenance. The principle
was also applied to show that average gene length should be constant in an
animal kingdom where the same constraints appear to hold, the implication being
that Conservation of Information plays a similar role in discrete token-based
systems as the Conservation of Energy does in physical systems.
  In this part 2, the role of defect will be explored and a functional
behaviour for defect derived to be consistent with the power-law behaviour
substantiated above.
  This will be supported by further experimental data and the implications
explored.
