Mesh Formation
Potts crystallization: discontinuous regime shift at critical mass N*, not gradual S-curve.
Impact Score
Score Reasoning
- Importance
- Core AI transition mechanism. Potts crystallization (discontinuous regime shift) is a central prediction distinguishing CES theory from standard network effects.
- Novelty
- New theorem: mesh formation as first-order Potts transition, not S-curve. Critical mass N* and discontinuous jump. Original prediction with testable implications.
- Quality
- Excellent article: clear mechanism, network scaling, Potts connection, testable predictions. 5 inbound links.
