[64.1.5.1] The constituent materials are assumed to be rock forming the matrix and water filling the pore space. [64.1.5.2] Their dielectric constants are

[64.2.1.1] The average local dielectric constants and at porosity are in general unknown. [64.2.1.2] Nevertheless, some general statements can be made. [64.2.1.3] The relation

and they are valid for all frequencies .
[64.2.2.1] Finally, the local simplicity hypothesis will be cast into mathematical form by requiring that can be expanded for samll as

[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 that the expension

[64.2.3.1] For the local porosity distribution, it will be assumed that in equation (2.8) and thus . [64.2.3.2] The local percolation probability has to assume the limiting values

The first equation states that there are no conducting geometries with porosity , and the second says that there exist no blocking geometries at porosity .
