The Scaling Law Theory

The Scaling Law Theory explains how different properties of systems, such as biological organisms or networks, change proportionally as the system grows or shrinks. It uses mathematical relationships called "scaling laws" to describe these patterns. For example, in biology, larger animals tend to have longer limbs and slower metabolisms, following predictable patterns. These laws help us understand how structure and function adapt across sizes, revealing underlying principles that govern complex systems, whether in nature, engineering, or social networks—showing that many systems obey similar scaling patterns regardless of their specific component details.
