14. The importance of "avalanche" like phenomena in a variety of physical systems has been emphasized by P. Bak, C. Tang and collaborators, see e.g. P. Bak, C. Tang, C. Wiesenfeld, Phys. Rev. Lett. 59 (1987) 381; P. Bak, K. Chen, Sci. Am. 264 (1991) 46, and this and other critical-like phenomena dubbed "self-organized criticality". See also .

22. The scaling law for distribution of avalanche sizes is the same as that in mean field models of "sandpiles" (see P. Bak, C. Tang, J. Stat. Phys. 51 (1988) 797) as well as that of cluster sizes in the mean field theory of percolation .

It is not clear whether the differences between these results and ζ≈ 1 3 can be attributed to corrections to scaling or to some other source.
