Simple example of structure versus property relationship applied to a reduced-friction biosystem, a quite personal opinion.
Structure versus property (small-scale) relationship enters when something interesting is going to happen in a biosystem. This special-type "happening" is actually appearing to be manifested at both micro- and mesoscopic levels of always productive soft-matter organization under dynamic response, especially the one characteristic of the articular cartilage--an efficient, designed-by-nature multi-membrane, and virtually, with-ion-channels equipped, absorber and load relaxor.
