Episode 07: The scaling of single source supply networks

Summary:

For a prelude, we consider neck tie possibilities informed by constrained random walks on a hexagonal lattice. And then we're back into the scaling of single source supply networks as a function of system volume. A simple geometric argument returns 2/3 scaling for metabolism and 3/2 scaling for network volume in drainage landscapes.
