The problem of scale is well-known in science, as selection of the appropriate scale is critical to the success of analyses/descriptions. The world is inherently organized in a scale hierarchy where major structures provide the reference for small scale structures. An example from everyday life is the organization of space in the world: countries, cities, houses, rooms, furniture, parts, molecules, etc. For the description of a particular phenomenon it is essential that the appropriate reference frame is chosen, for example, it typically makes little sense to describe where your desk is with respect to the country you live in, while it makes a lot of sense to describe where it is situated in your office.
