T.F.H. ALLEN and T.B. STARR explain: “At each point in space there is a certain rate of exchange of information or matter associated with a particular form of signal. At successive points in space there may be a change in the quantity of passing signal. Monotonic change in the amount of signal passing successive points constitutes an interaction density gradient. At surfaces, interaction density gradients are particularly steep” (1982, p.270).
