Primes¶
- Criticality
- Each lives at a control-parameter value where the next perturbation may stay local or may cascade across the system, and the size distribution of cascades is governed by a power law whose exponent depends on the system's symmetry class rather than on its microscopic constituents, an empirical pattern Beggs and Plenz (2003) documented for neural avalanches in cortical slices and which has since been replicated across a wide range of preparations.
This sourceExperimental documentation of power-law neural-avalanche size distributions in organotypic cultures and acute slices of rat cortex; empirical anchor of the critical-brain research program the marker cites.

- Percolation
- Collective behavior. A social movement reaches systemic scale only when local-recruitment density crosses a threshold; threshold models of collective action are percolation models. Neuroscience. Neuronal avalanches, the critical-brain hypothesis, and the seizure threshold as a percolation transition in recurrent excitatory networks.
