OBS

Scalant (adj.) Se dit d'une figure géométrique ou d'un objet naturel dont les parties ont la même forme ou structure que le tout, à ceci près qu'elles sont à une échelle différente et peuvent être légèrement déformées.

OBS

L'emprunt scaling est si enraciné qu'il vaut mieux ne pas trop s'en éloigner en cherchant un néologisme de remplacement.
