There's a simple, beautiful reason why Constructal flows best explain the fractal geometry of nature and culture systems, their flows and their resultant forms, via a reciprocal "form follows flow" process. It's because they also best deliver "more, for less" via optimal, analogical and recursive geometries, that act as an emergence source-code and universal efficiency co-efficient and evolution constant, as described by the Constructal-related Asynsis principle. Constructal flows lead Asynsis forms, while Asynsis forms also guide Constructal flows. Geometry and physics, waves and their media combine to best synergise simplexity according to the principle of least action, leading most easily, adaptively and resiliently, to self-organisation and (as we term it), SynPlexity.
