Primes¶
- Criticality
- Most thresholds are not critical; criticality is the specialized regime where crossing the boundary involves scale-free statistics rather than a clean step change, a distinction Sornette (2006) develops carefully in the context of physical and social systems by separating thresholds (boundary values) from critical points (boundary values where the response function diverges).
This sourceComprehensive treatment of critical phenomena across physical, biological, and social systems; clarifies the distinction between thresholds (boundary values) and critical points (boundary values with divergent response functions) the marker relies on.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
