Primes¶
- Nucleation
- The critical-nucleus size is the prime's analogue of the critical radius: an adopter cluster below a threshold dissolves as early users abandon an un-reinforced choice, while above it the cluster grows into a cascade — the empirically estimated "critical fraction."
This sourceEmpirically estimates the critical fraction of committed individuals (about 25%) needed to nucleate a cascading change in social convention — the social analogue of the critical nucleus, including persistence once the critical size is exceeded.
