If they are fractal (C10, scale-invariant), they must follow power-law scaling — but engineering optimality often produces exponential, not power-law, scaling. **Resolution status:** PARTIALLY RESOLVED **What would settle it:** A definitive proof that Murray’s Law (r^3) follows from fractal geometry rather than viscous dissipation optimization; OR demonstration that optimal transport under realistic biological constraints necessarily produces fractal, not exponential, scaling. **Current state:** Bejan’s constructal law claims to derive branching from optimization, but the derivation assumes a fractal Ansatz. WBE (1997) derive the 3/4 scaling exponent from network geometry plus minimization, suggesting both nodes are partially right. **Honest assessment:** The tension is more apparent than real — both branching and fractality emerge from the same physical constraints (space-filling + minimum cost). But the rival frames of each node are in genuine tension: one says geometry is primary, the other says optimization is primary.
