Unfortunately true exponential growth of a physical system cannot exist - it'll always be some sort of logistic model that looks exponential near x=0.

I’m intrigued. Why cant true exponential growth of a physical system exist?

Do you mean it can’t be maintained forever? I can think of lots of physical processes that have exponential behavior for some amount of time.
