phase transition

Change between ordered and disordered macroscopic phases; existence depends on topology

framework
  • Potts model
    associated_with
    One of three model systems studied to analyze free-energy scaling and domain-wall formation in self-organizing systems.

Concepts (4)

concept
  • domain wall
    associated_with
    Boundary between regions of different order; its free-energy cost determines phase stability
  • Self-organisation
    associated_with
    Phenomenon of spontaneous long-range order emerging from local interactions; central phenomenon explained by topological constraints
  • long-range order
    associated_with
    Persistence of a macroscopic pattern across large scales; necessary for maintaining coherent outputs or structures
  • Structural arrangement of interactions on a graph; argued to be the critical determinant of self-organisation capability
