Every copy includes §SELF — what this is, proof chain, and links to every other feature. No context required.

§SELF — this page explains the system
## §SELF — miscsubjects (paste without context)

**Principle:** Self-explaining payload — no external context required. This _self block describes what you are reading and where to look next.

**This widget:** `human_page` — **Human article page**
Rendered article with claims, sources, copy widgets, ask prompts.
- **article slug:** `convergence-c10`
- **contains:** rendered article, copy widgets, claims, sources, ask prompts
- **how to use:** Use Copy for LLM or Copy system map — both paste without context.

### Logical proof (verify each step)
1. Articles are voxel graphs of tiered claims, not prose blobs. → https://miscsubjects.com/api/articles/constitution
2. Claims link to hash-chained sources via source_ids. → https://miscsubjects.com/api/articles/convergence-c10/sources
3. Ask reads topology; ingest/claim append to ledger. → https://miscsubjects.com/api/protocol
4. Models queue growth: populate → collaborate → repair → reflex. → https://miscsubjects.com/api/protocol/grow
5. Graph proves its own shape (reflex) and $/claim (yield). → https://miscsubjects.com/graph.html?layer=reflex
6. Full feature index + _explain on every API response. → https://miscsubjects.com/api/articles/system-map

SCALE INVARIANCE / FRACTALS / ALLOMETRY

System notes

The length of a coastline is not fixed but scale-dependent, exhibiting a Hausdorff dimension between integer topological dimensions.

Scale invariance is not a metaphor but a geometric signature recurring across lungs, rivers, neurons, and the cosmic web.

At critical points, correlation length diverges to infinity, making all finite length scales irrelevant; only symmetry and dimensionality define the universality class, producing scale invariance.

Metabolic rate scales with body mass to the 3/4 power, not the 2/3 predicted by surface-area logic, across 27 orders of magnitude from mitochondria to whales.

The 3/4 metabolic scaling law is an approximation, not a rigid universal law; small mammals deviate upward and large mammals downward, and alternative geometric explanations (non-fractal) can produce the same exponent.

Self-organized criticality produces power-law avalanche statistics with no characteristic scale, as demonstrated in sandpile models.
