Therefore, if so-called isomorphic laws of growth occur in entirely different
processes, it has no more significance than the fact that elementary arith- methic
is applicable to all countable objects, that 2 plus 2 make 4, irrespective of
whether the ...

Not only are general aspects and viewpoints alike in different sciences;
frequently we find formally identical or isomorphic laws indifferent fields. In many
cases, isomorphic laws hold for certain classes or subclasses of "systems,"
irrespective of ...
