Primes¶
- Critical Mass
- Naming critical mass lets practitioners cleanly distinguish a process that merely needs continued pushing from one that carries itself once seeded.
This sourceFoundational treatment of tipping dynamics, distinguishing processes that require continued external pressure from those that, once past a tipping point, carry themselves, and reframing the planning question as locating where that self-sustenance line lies.

- Phase Separation
- Sociology and urban geography — Schelling segregation, in which neighbourhoods spontaneously sort by demographic even under mild individual preferences, was an explicit transposition of the phase-separation structure from materials science.
This sourceShows that mild individual same-group preferences produce strong global residential segregation — the explicit transposition of phase-separation logic into sociology.

- Threshold-Driven Order Emergence
This sourceFoundational treatment of tipping and critical-mass dynamics, distinguishing processes that require continued external pressure from those that, once past a threshold, carry themselves and reframing the question as where that self-sustenance line lies.
