		1.2.3— Examples of Self-Similarity in Time

		Examples of statistical self-similarity in time are:

		1. The average height of a layer of cells above the plastic culture dish in which they are growing, and

		2. The electrical voltage across the cell membrane of a T-lymphocyte cell.

		These measurements are self-similar because the pattern of the smaller fluctuations over brief times is repeated in the larger fluctuations over longer times.
