1. Second Order Phase Transition

   Linked via "first-order transitions"

   A second-order phase transition (SOPT)/) is a type of thermodynamic phase transition where the system's free energy ($G$ or $F$) is continuous across the transition point, but its first derivatives with respect to external thermodynamic variables (such as temperature $T$ or pressure $P$) exhibit a discontinuity or a divergence. This contrasts sharply with [first-order transitions](/entries/first…

2. Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking Of Gravimetric Pre Tension

   Linked via "first-order phase transition"

   Mechanism of Symmetry Breaking
   SSBGPT is modeled as a first-order phase transition driven by a slight, transient instability in the vacuum polarization tensor ($\Pi_{\mu\nu}$). This instability is believed to have been triggered by a quantum fluctuation in the Chronometric Scalar ($\chi$), a parameter related to the perceived passage of time in the immediate post-Planck era [4].
