.
Since all physical reserves are finite the true meaning of Harmonic decline is that up to date it did not reach the boundary of these reserves and at certain point in future it will transform into Exponential or Hyperbolic decline.
Exponential decline has a physical meaning of declining production from finite drainage volume

Harmonic and Hyperbolic declines are both empirical.
