The general ordering of natural phenomena (but also probably of the social ones) seem to result of trade-offs between rhythms of different periodicities , B.T. WERNER writes: “Fast variables become slaved to low variables and lose their status as independent dynamical variables”(1999, p. 103)
This corresponds to power laws and to HAKEN's slaving principle .
