These limitations involve frequency and analogy, which are the cause of ill-understood chaos-theoretic patterns of order. In particular, analogy must be formalised, and its interaction with frequency must be further investigated. %U https://www.aup-online.com/content/journals/10.5117/NEDTAA2017.1.HOEK
