This study is part of the abstraction process underlying the construction of the model and aims to introduce a generalization that increase the solidity of the entire theoretical approach. Such a generalization demonstrates, in particular, the resilience of the model against a wide range of possible ways of spatial aggregation of the base material. After having described the proposed changes and having made the necessary formal adjustments to the theoretical relations produced by the model, the study focuses on the evaluation of the impact that the new and more general hypotheses have on the results obtained previously, confirming the validity in principle of the conclusions already reached.}}
