Request to remove notability and COI tags
[edit]The article now includes multiple independent reliable sources from news media and academic literature. The content is written in a neutral tone, with explicit third-party commentary. I believe the notability and COI tags can be removed. Further suggestions are welcome. Wldnjs77! (talk) 07:12, 3 July 2025 (UTC)

Need justification for exponential terms
[edit]I see nothing in this article that justifies the need for terms of the form exp(βx). There's no explanation of how the distribution potential x depends on anything else, only that it's a function of a number of variables. In that case, x could be the function ln(u), where u is a positive function of the same variables, such that u=exp(x). In terms of u, the exponential terms become powers of u instead, taking the form u^β. Based on the level of detail in the article, positive u are equally expressive to real x, with no loss of generality or convenience. To justify the distribution as exponential versus a power law, there needs to be some explanation of how x is distributed and/or depends on other known quantities.
