http://www.nooron.org/know/uplift_linguistic_shell/scalefree_pattern_language Scale Free Patterns give us some tools to talk about things which occur across many different scales. HIV/AIDS, for example, can be viewed from various characteristic scales: genetic, cellular, immune system, person, family, community, national, or evolution of the species. ScaleFree gives us some tools for talking about things which cross many scales - the intrinsics of the situation. It allows us to link things across divergent scales, and to think in terms of Foamy Spaces, which have fractal properties, rather than dense fixed dimensions. Is there a way to build a fractal browser which gives us the ability to view things from the perspective of their intrinsics? Is there a way of using foamy spaces to understand complex, multi-scale, multidimensional systems? Can we speak about cascades of activities caused by intrinsics? Can we discover activation energies which are capable of causing a cascade of uplift? A cascade is an action which occurs at multiple characteristic scales simultaneously. They may be created by Intrinsics. While Causality is generally discussed in terms of a single characteristic scale, cascades are based on interactions between scales which may not recognized at a certain characteristic scale. Intrinsic Cause CharacteristicScale Diachronic A causal effect within a defined characteristic scale. Cascade CharacteristicScale A portion of the continuum of scale which is used for a perspective, typically chosen in order to understand causality. For example, physics, chemistry, and biology typically have defined characteristic scales within which they are able to perform scientific experiments to establish causality. Intrinsics which cut across scales, and interact as cascades, are not necessarily prominent at specific characteristic scales, even though they may be significant contributors to a cascade. For example, the intrinsic of TRUST may not be significant at the 'patient billing' characteristic scale, but it is a very significant factor in a cascade of effects ranging from patient-physician interaction, health care system, and society as a whole. The loss of trust at one level may have cascading effects at other levels. Similarly, the reintroduction of trust mechanisms at the patient care level may have a cascading effect on the rest of society. A perspective across time, showing the evolution or flow of an activity. Synchronic Foamy Spaces are those in which dimension is a dimension. As perspectives on the space move about the space or in time, different dimensionality may emerge. Foam may be caused by Named Voids describing specific Unknowledge (for example, the cells in the Period Chart of the Elements which were unknown when Mendeleyev created the chart). Or, spaces may be of fractal dimensions, such as the Mandelbrot set. Intrinsic Cascade A way of linking objects across arbitrary ranges of scale and perspective. This may include objects in Foamy Spaces, Intrinsics, Cascades, and other scale-free phenomenon. It may link to eras (diachronic specification), or it may describe the flow of activities over time.
