Primes

• Fractal Geometry
  • The mechanism is what licenses extrapolation, intervention, and explanation; the dimension alone is descriptive.

    This sourceIntroduces the DLA model whose aggregates show power-law density correlations and characteristic non-integer fractal dimension; the canonical substrate mechanism for fractal soot, electrodeposition, and lightning.

Domain-specific

• Diffusion-limited aggregation
  • Off-lattice, lattice, radial and boundary-seeded variants differ quantitatively, but screening makes exposed tips grow faster than sheltered regions and yields characteristic fractal morphology.

Verification

This reference passed the adversarial substantiation pipeline: it was checked to exist and to support the claim it is attached to. See how references were verified.
