Binding Energy in Crystal Growth

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

• On a growing crystal, incoming molecules preferentially attach where binding energy is greatest, causing plane faces to perpetuate themselves and wholeness to be preserved in crystal growth.finding0.830
  Physical chemistry finding illustrating a purely local mechanism that nonetheless produces global structure preservation
• growthconcept0.695
  The process of increase and differentiation that morphogenesis orchestrates, whether in embryo or city.
• Free-energy scaling under domain-wall formationmethod0.694
  Key analytical technique used across three model systems to determine constraints on long-range order.
• Gibbs Energyconcept0.690
  Scalar potential in Helmholtz decomposition whose exponential form gives the ergodic density of dynamical systems.
• The Free Energy Principle applies to all self-organizing systems including rocks, making it too broad; the present thesis restricts consciousness to signed evaluation in the service of learningclaim0.689
  Differentiation of the thesis from Friston's FEP to avoid the rock problem
• Does The Free Energy Principle Adequately Explain Morphogenesisquestion0.686
• Piecemeal growth requires that certain parts of the system remain stable.claim0.684
  Justification for the backplane as a stable core while applications can change.
• The expected free energy subsumes many existing constructs in science and engineering.claim0.681
  Unifying nature of expected free energy claimed in Section 2 and 7.
