Abstract

It is shown that the linear equations of the formal theory of mass behavior proposed by the author in 1939 are first-order approximations of the biophysical theory proposed later. The second approximation contains cubic terms. It permits the expression of the time course of the change of behavior in terms of a quadrature.
