Kleiber 3/4-power allometric scaling (West-Brown-Enquist)

Layer 3 — Biologyin the Quantitative Biology subtree

Kleiber 1932: basal metabolic rate B ∝ M^{3/4} across mammals (mouse → elephant). West-Brown-Enquist 1997 derive 3/4 from fractal-vasculature volume-filling, area-preserving terminal-units, size-invariant terminal-units. Extends to…
