[64.1.5.4] Dimensionless frequencies are introduced
by setting

frequency of water,
and this also fixes

are in general unknown.
[64.2.1.2] Nevertheless, some general statements can be made.
[64.2.1.3] The relation
![]() |

must hold for all .
[64.2.1.4] It expresses the fact that the blocking geometry is nonconducting.
[64.2.1.5] The following relations for the low-

[64.2.2.1] Finally, the local simplicity hypothesis
will be cast into mathematical form
by requiring that

as
![]() |
(4.8) |
[64.2.2.2] Correspondingly, for the blocking geometries
the real dielectric constant diverges as ,
which is a thin-plate effect.
[64.2.2.3] Local simplictiy is assumed to imply

[64.2.3.2] The local percolation probability
has to assume the limiting values
