Similar-looking phenomena across domains still need domain-specific scientific concepts.
Evidence
Different phenomena in nature, living organisms, society, and technology obey different laws and exhibit different properties and thus require different scientific concepts to study them. Even when phenomena appear similar, a detailed interpretation of specific laws to be applied may be quite different. That is why we can have (and actually must use) different domains of knowledge. β Ville Pulkki, Matti Karjalainen, Communication Acoustics- Anβ¦, 89
