Scientific paper

A new view of the nature of the large-scale distribution of matter is suggested by the fact that the covariance function for the distribution varies smoothly, like a power law, over a wide range of separations. This leads one to ask whether superclusters are entities distinguishable in some natural and fundamental way from clusters, or from groups, or even from individual galaxies. I discuss here an attempt to find an acceptable model for clustering consistent with the picture of a continuous hierarchy.
