According to his "Gesetz der wachsenden Glieder", meaning ‘law of the growing elements’, the larger constituent follows the smaller one. In what follows, a more recent reflection is offered on the case that is made by Behagel (1909); nonetheless, it is noted here as well that his "Gesetz der wachsenden Glieder" is still one of the core issues in processing efficiency theory.
