Episode 108h: Simple geometric story and the specialness of isometric organisms
Summary:
We strip everything down to the basics: How would the volume of the optimal network scale with body volume (mass) when we do tit right. We consider families of shapes of d dimensions living in an ambient dimension D and the possibility that sink density might scale with size. The beautiful story is that surface area and supply network scaling only match up for isometrically growing shapes.
