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.
