Phase Boundary Visualizer
The three regimes of γ define qualitatively different physics. Drag the slider to explore where different systems live.
γ ≈ 1 — Boundary
The interesting regime. Quantum and classical effects compete. Phase transitions occur here. Chemistry lives here. Consciousness threshold (C ≈ 0.50) maps to this regime.
The Three Regimes
γ < 0.6 — Classical
Macroscopic coherence. Many correlated particles (large N_corr, small γ) behave as one. Collective quantum phenomena emerge as classical-looking order.
γ ≈ 1 — Boundary
The interesting regime. Quantum and classical effects compete. Phase transitions occur here. Chemistry lives here. Consciousness threshold (C ≈ 0.50) maps to this regime.
γ > 1.4 — Quantum
Few correlated particles (small N_corr, large γ). Individual quantum behavior. Rapid decoherence. At γ = 2 (N_corr = 1), the single-particle limit where galaxy-scale "dark matter" signatures appear.
