River networks exhibit apparent self-similarity, or more broadly fractal
Rogue River in Oregon
Self-similar topological organization[e.g., Peckham, 1995]
What causes this regularity?

Is this a result of an optimization process?

“This ‘law-like’ feature seems to emerge as the inevitable result of a dynamic process that minimizes the dissipation of energy”- Mark Buchanan
[Nature 419, 787 (24 October 2002) ]

However, the mechanism that enables the systems to find these extremal states remains elusive
Hypothesis
Evolutionary dynamics driven by a flow gradient and subject to proximity constraint, that is, the matter and energy can traverse only through a continuum, in the presence of inherent randomness of media properties, give rise to a tree topological organization.

Evolutionary dynamics driven
by gradient
under spatial proximity constraint
In summary, evolutionary dynamics driven by a flow gradient and subject to proximity constraint, that is, the matter and energy can traverse only through a continuum, in the presence of inherent randomness of media properties, give rise to a tree topological organization
The minimization of energy expenditure is not the cause but a consequent signature
Findings may serve as a motif for the formation of other networks.
