These shapes improve the movement of currents such as heat, fluid, or mass. The observation started in heat transfer problems during the 1990s.\\n\\nBejan noted that tree-like branching appears repeatedly. It appears in river deltas, lungs, lightning, and cooling systems for electronics. The pattern reduces resistance to flow as the system grows.\\n\\nCore result: finite systems evolve their internal architecture. They do so to move more material with less effort across a given area or volume.\\n\\n## Exact Primary Works and Passages\\n\\nThe Constructal Law first appeared in 1996. Bejan, A. (1996). Constructal-Theory Network of Conducting Paths for Cooling a Heat Generating Volume. International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, 40(4), 799–816.\\n\\nExact statement: “For a finite-size flow system to persist in time (to survive) it must evolve in such a way that it provides easier and easier access to the currents that flow through it.”\\n\\nLater books expand the idea.

This matches Pattern 1 in the grain description.\\n\\nIt also maps onto flow networks that persist and optimize. This matches Pattern 5.\\n\\nThe law states that configuration changes directionally. It favors lower resistance over time. See /a/oip-the-ladder for the step from difference to structure.\\n\\nThe law treats the system as a whole.
