Urban fractal generation and The Law of Thermodynamics (draft)
.In complexity theory, everything is dynamic, nothing is static. Everything is also in motion, even to maintain stability. The allusion of a phenomena or object appearing to be at rest is because of the discounting of the presence of other forces and their relative speed in action upon or interacting with the phenomena. For example, a ball that is put in a bowl has a brief period of rapid motion as it drops to the bottom. It appears in a state of rest, but gravity is maintaining this rest depending on the rotation of the earth. This is long term stability, but certainly not infinite stability. This concept is the metaphoric use of the Law of Thermodynamics. There is a force that initiates the motion of objects, accelerates it and eventually the motion decays. The later phrase is called entropy. In the same manner if the energy or force applied for acceleration or maintenance becomes beyond the capacity of the ‘engine’, then it has to slow down or break down....
