Both are needed, the numerous and the singular. The process spun out of control.
Constructal Theory of Social Dynamics
In constructal theory, we are aware that we cannot eliminate the flow resistances, but that we can distribute them optimally over the network. Mexican Migration to the United States, — The book explores the deterministic theeory that generates a broad array of patterned phenomena, in demography, geography, communications, hierarchy, and multiple scales.
Patterns in Natural Flows: Empirical Checks and Discussion River morphology exhibits constrctal that are documented extensively in geophysics treatises. In a second part of the study Reis and Bejanthe Constructal Law was invoked in the analysis of atmospheric circulation at the diurnal scale.
The double flow tree shown in Fig. The area supplied with Figure 3.
In the center, which is the ancient city, the streets are considerably shorter than in the costructal recently built, peripheral areas e. Sequence of area constructs obtained by pairing smaller constructs Wechsatol et al. The Natural and the Social Sciences The temperatures of the hot water delivered to the fifth and sixth users in the configurations of Figs.
Argentina had vast riches of arable soil and, in the pampas, the best pastureland in the world. Here we see again a great number of small streets corresponding to the high resistivity city network of the medieval era.
The result is organization flow architecture derived from one principle of configuration evolution in time the constructal law: The work required to move the water mass upward W1 is approximated by multiplying Mb with L and gravity g. The comparison is done on the same basis, i.

The tree designs of Fig. Oslo Agreement Game Indeed, in Baring Brothers had a portfolio of unsold Argentine securities that exceeded the entire reserves of the Bank of England. Humans routinely encounter different terrain and we adjust our speed and stride frequency accordingly.

In France, the system of superior education is divided into two kinds of structures. This exploratory dynamixs adds a dose of determinism to the modeling and predicting of societal flows. So impressive are these images that our culture tends to attribute them to an ancient scientific base that consfructal lost, and to presumed links between ancient peoples living on opposite sides of the globe Fig. This theory allows the design and understanding of natural systems, thermal dissipators, communication networks, etc.
There are some other interesting phenomena from this case that are worth exploring.
The stepped line is rough in comparison with the data because the construction deduced in Fig. First, social networks are neither random nor uniform fishnet-like but consist of strong ties of interactions between many units and a center node.

Think of an isolated thermodynamic system that is initially in a state of internal nonuniformity e. The predictions from this theory of running are quite robust. The lifted water is equal to the volume displaced by the free surface as it rises over a very large area—all the larger when the fish is deeper.

The migration stream began to develop rapidly with the advent of World War II, when the United States responded to labor shortages by recruiting Mexicans into the Bracero Program.
Because the Mexican railways did not reach California from central Mexico untilthe El Paso route remained the trunk line, and El Paso served as the primary port of entry for Mexican laborers even those going to Californiafor nearly 40 years.
Nature as Matter, Unique-ness and Kaos Sliding on the horizontal 1—2 is less dissipative than hopping up the incline 2—3. Modeling the Spreading of an Epidemic For a finite size flow system to persist in time to survive its configuration must evolve in such a way that it provides easier and easier access to the currents that flow through it. At the global level, the system flows with minimum but finite imperfection, which means that it destroys minimum useful energy fuel, food, exergy.
The result is organization flow architecture derived from one principle of configuration evolution in time the constructal law: In swimming, because the bottom of a body of water is immense and stationary, a fish can push and move its body relative to the ground by performing work against gravity and friction, just like a bird or an antelope.
A different approach is made possible by constructal theory see Bejan and Reis ; Reis and Bejan Observations of this kind come in billions, and they mean one thing:
