The Discrete Fractal Paradigm must meet the same standard. It may be
a nice hypothesis to propose that "The Universe is organized
fractally." However, the next step is to explicate the underlying
equations and show how they make quanitative predictions that agree
with the data. That includes predictions such as the ones that George
Dishman's been asking.

Before you criticize something, it is a good idea to have an adequate
understanding of it. I can see quite clearly from what you say that
your understanding of the Discrete Fractal paradigm is mediocre at
best.

If you would like to understand the DF paradigm well enough to make
intelligent comments about it, please visit
www.amherst.edu/~rloldershaw and read papers #1 and #2 of the "Selected
Papers" section. This will give you an acceptable working knowledge of
the paradigm.

Without this necessary background, you literally do not know what you
are talking about.
