英文摘要：
We use a simple combinatorial model of technological change to explain the Industrial Revolution. The Industrial Revolution was a sudden large improvement in technology, which resulted in significant increases in human wealth and life spans. In our model, technological change is combining or modifying earlier goods to produce new goods. The underlying process, which has been the same for at least 200,000 years, was sure to produce a very long period of relatively slow change followed with probability one by a combinatorial explosion and sudden takeoff. Thus, in our model, after many millennia of relative quiescence in wealth and technology, a combinatorial explosion created the sudden takeoff of the Industrial Revolution.

中文摘要：
我们使用一个简单的技术变革组合模型来解释工业革命。工业革命是技术的突飞猛进，导致人类财富和寿命显著增加。在我们的模型中，技术变革是组合或修改早期产品以生产新产品。这一基本过程已经持续了至少20万年，肯定会产生一个非常长的相对缓慢的变化期，随后可能发生组合爆炸和突然起飞。因此，在我们的模型中，在财富和技术相对平静了数千年之后，一场组合爆炸导致了工业革命的突然起飞。
