Principles of Construction Iteration Self-similarity Scaling Questioning Which phenomena in nature, technology and design show these principles? How strict can the principles be applied? How can the principles be systematized?

»As far as mathematical theorems are dealing with reality, they are not certain, and in so far as they are certain, they are not related to reality.« Albert Einstein, 1921
