The normal, the natural, and the harmonic

No 84tgs, OSF Preprints from Center for Open Science

Abstract: Use is made of rigorous definitions for the terms normal, natural, and harmonic to reveal a number of unfamiliar aspects about them. The Gaussian distribution is not sufficient to determine who is normal, and fluctuations above or below a natural-growth curve may or may not be natural. A recipe for harmonically sustained natural growth requires that the overlap during the substitution process must be limited. As a consequence the overall growth process must experience good as well as bad "seasons". © 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
