Why does the hierarchical structure of the lattice reduce the "coupling"? Why is the performance of hierarchical structure better than the octet-truss-based cube?

I have a question about the nano compatibility when it come to freeze-thaw interaction. We know that the wood particles are generally absorbent and expand but retain rot damage, steel is absorbent but becomes brittle (at extreme applications)...etc. The question is: does the temperature damage subside as the tensile and compression properties do? or does the "nano scale" feature have an absorbing or repelling contortion. Thank you for your efforts.

This is obviously a Job for Genetic Algorithm AI. It will spit out answers beyond these researchers wildest dreams.
