Short summary
We study a model containing the characteristic of self-similarity (invariance under scale) which allows for scaling between lab experiments and geographical-scale seismicity. Particular to this model is the dependency of the earthquake rates on the magnitude difference between events that are causally connected. We present results of a statistical analysis of magnitude correlations for the model along with its implications for the ongoing efforts in earthquake forecasting.
