"A data table comparing empirical urban scaling exponents to the Information Energy Maximization (IEM) model. Using the connectivity tax constant ks = 0.22, the model predicts an infrastructure exponent of 1.22, showing a 0.00 deviation from PNAS Nexus empirical data for the 1.22 urban limit. It also aligns with Kleiber’s Law (0.75) for biological metabolic scaling."

Verification of the 1.22 Urban Scaling limit using Information Energy Maximization (IEM). Results show 0.00 deviation from PNAS Nexus data using constant \bm{k_s = 0.22}.
