All other minimal variables are disregarded there can be variables numbering in the millions. It"s simply probability. number of variables falls somewhere in the middle of disorganized complexity and simplicity. This type of thought development deals with specifics. Everything is mapped out and analyzed how each variable interrelates to others, and what factors are influenced by it cannot function on probability. There are many different regions or situations that ultimately can all be interrelated and have impact on one another. Jacobs uses an example of a park: use depends on its location, and the types of people in that location. These types of people are living in this spot because of other factors that may have nothing to do with the park.
