I seek to investigate and show that it is possible to rank forces of nature by their capacity to generate branching patterns, and I seek to show the relevance of ranking forces of nature for the biological sciences, the physical sciences, and also computer science.

Abstract


I seek to investigate and show that it is possible to rank forces of nature by their capacity to generate branching patterns, and I seek to show the relevance of ranking forces of nature for the biological sciences, the physical sciences, and also computer science.
