I am trying to loosely connect big ideas here so I might be wrong. If there is fundamental feature of a universal law, then that feature must manifest itself at all scales, as the above statements tries to put forward visually. Maybe this idea of flow spreading out is very general and some kind of summarization of that finer grain flow to coarser flow in the form of Green's theorem or Stoke's Theorem is very general.
