| Zusammenfassung: | There is discussion of the role of the self similar fractal model (SSFM) as a dominant paradigm in geomorphology; and how it may be applied appropriately. There is also a difference in the interpretation of curvature in logarithmic plots of step length vs total number of steps. Thirdly there is disagreement about interpreting application of the model to the talus clast transects; and finally on the significance of the dimensions obtained (D < 1·27) along the transects. |
