Abstract Assuming bundles (of shortrange ordered macromolecules, folding back and forth statistically), their equilibrium superstructure and diameter are described on the basis of cluster-entropy-hypothesis (CEH). As primary blocks in the bulk polymer and in thin films coupled meander cubes are most probable, which are linked via their cube diagonals serving as axis of statistical rotation and aggregate to coarse grains. Magnetic birefringence, SANS and elctronmicroscopy are used as further methods to determine the cube side length. Applying the same concept to myosin-, collagen-, and elastin-aggregates, these can be interpreted as equilibrium meander fibrils, additionally stabilized by specific interactions and by the length of the molecules.
