companies, plants, animals, our bodies, and even tumors manifest a remarkable similarity in the ways that they are organized and function." - Geo ff rey West

impossibility of increasing the size of structures to vast dimensions either in art or in nature; … also it would be impossible to build up the bony structures of men, horses, or other animals so as to hold together and perform their normal functions . . . for if his height be increased inordinately he will fall and be crushed under his own weight.” - Galileo Galilei

cells, organisms, ecosystems, cities, or corporations, require the close integration of enormous numbers of their constituent units that need e ff icient servicing at all scales. This has been accomplished in living systems by evolving fractal-like, hierarchical branching network systems.” - Geo ff rey West
