Domain-specific¶
- Lehman's law of continuing change
- Empirical software evolution — the home turf, where the law is the first of the eight Lehman laws; Belady and Lehman's OS/360 longitudinal data established it and FOSS replications (Godfrey and Tu, Israeli and Feitelson on Linux) confirm this first law in particular — both find against other laws in the set, Godfrey and Tu reporting super-linear Linux growth that contradicts the inverse-square growth-rate hypothesis
This sourceThe first of the two open-source replications: a release-history study of the Linux kernel showing sustained, unabated change and growth, whose own super-linear growth finding the authors present as contradicting Lehman and Turski's inverse-square growth hypothesis.
