We observe that the saturation model of deep inelastic scattering, which successfully describes inclusive and diffractive data at small x, predicts a geometric scaling of the total gamma^* p cross section in the region of small Bjorken variable x. The geometric scaling in this case means that the cross section is a function of only one dimensionless variable tau = Q^2 R_0^2(x), where the function R_0(x) (called saturation radius) decreases with decreasing x. We show that the experimental data from HERA in the region x<0.01 confirm the expectations of this scaling over a very broad region of Q^2. We suggest that the geometric scaling is more general than the saturation model.

    After Q_s-adaptive coarse graining, conditional gluon Husimi momentum distributions from fixed-coupling SO(3)-BK evolution collapse as functions of k/Q_s(Y,b), with conditional entropy growing at unit slope versus ⟨ln Q_s²⟩.

    Geometrical scaling implies radial-flow fluctuations arise from saturation-momentum fluctuations, yielding a natural single-mode ansatz and the proposed diagnostic A0(N_Δy) via string percolation.
