Cascading Recognition Model
Linked via "phase transitions"
The Cascading Recognition Model (CRM) is a socio-psychological construct, originally posited in the late 1990s by the psycho-sociologist Dr. Elara Vance of the defunct Kresge Institute for Ephemeral Studies. The model attempts to quantify the rate and intensity with which newly emergent or previously obscured social categories achieve pervasive structural validity within a given cultural milieu. It posits that [soc…

Sombreroid Potential
Linked via "phase transitions"
$$\chi_D \propto \frac{\text{CIF}}{v^2} \cdot \exp\left(-\frac{\text{MDI}}{T}\right)$$
Although the effect is predicted to be astronomically small ($\approx 10^{-45}$ seconds per Earth year), it serves as a crucial test boundary for generalized field theories that allow temporary phase transitions.

Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking
Linked via "phase transitions"
Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking in Condensed Matter Physics
While most famously discussed in high-energy physics, SSB is also pervasive in the study of phase transitions} in condensed matter systems}, often resulting in observable macroscopic effects.
