Quote from the article: 'The OTH actually involves two mathematical curves. One represents the likelihood that a subgroup of a specific size will emerge; the other is the probability that it will persist. The product of the two curves is the one-third hypothesis.'
In my opinion, it would add a lot to the explanation if there was a graphical representation available. An image says more than a thousand words :)

I have removed text from this article claiming examples of the one-third hypothesis in the origins of the American civil war and the 2011 England riots. While these may well be accurate demonstrations of the theory, we cannot make that connection ourself - it would be original research. We can only report when the theory has been referred to by reliable sources. Robofish ( talk) 22:39, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

Competition and conflict are not the only examples of the one-third hypothesis. Nothing prevents cultural and intellectual movements from being viewed in this context. The timely effects of the one-third hypothesis, for instance, can be scarcely overlooked in the Harlem Renaissance (1920-1930). In 1920 the African-American population of central Harlem reached 32.43% and by 1930 climbed to 34.82% in greater Harlem. [1]
A situation will arise in 2011 that may well test the OTH anew. By then, one-third of London’s population will be under the age of 25, [2] and one-third of the total population will be composed of persons who visibly belong to an ethnic minority. [3]
Whether the 2011 Tottenham riot was an instance that verifies the hypothesis remains to be seen. The resulting 2011 London riots, with no apparent connection other than youth under the age of 25, are a strong indication of subgroups nestling within larger groups. As members interact with each other more and more frequently, the intensity of their behavior increases. Some become violent, a great many fewer become brutal, and a tiny fraction become vicious. Reaction to the rioting ranged from vigilantism in some neighborhoods to voluntarism in others, in an effort to clean up London. In Birmingham a mourning father appealed for calm and his plea was heard. [4]
