The problem,says Lovejoy,lies with the word "simple".When fractals beganmaking headlines,researchers raced to find the power laws behind ahost of natural phenomena.In particular,they sought the value of the"exponent" in these power laws,the one number that governed the extentto which the phenomenon in question changed with scale.(In thebathroom tile example,the exponent is 2.) But they soon ran intotrouble."They found that this single-exponent approach didn’t alwayswork," says Lovejoy."Many phenomena failed to obey power laws with oneexponent,and people started to give up on them,saying the idea wasoverly simplistic and had been oversold."
洛夫乔伊认为,这个问题归根于“简单”两字.当分形学开始成为头版头条新闻时,研究员们争先恐后地竞相寻找隐藏于这些幕次定律的“指数”的价值.这些“指数”中的一个数值就能在一定程度上引起大气大规模变化.(以浴室瓷砖为例,它的指数为2 )但是他们很快的陷入了困境,“他们发现单个指数的方法并不总是起效.”洛夫乔伊说,“许多大气现象在单个指数的条件下并不遵循幕次定律,人们已经开始放弃它了,说这个想法过于简单化而它的价值又被过分夸大.”
