A sudden change of state, like water freezing.
In Binary Pulse Theory
The novas are phase transitions of the substrate: when recursion meets the substrate's ceiling it must reorganize.
The BPT terms behind it
Computational Phase Transitions are the critical transitions in which the computational substrate changes its processing capability and dimensional structure, the point where, in the book's words, software-like processes create hardware-like reality.
The Phase Transition Criterion is the depth at which recursion meets the substrate's ceiling and must reorganize: ℜ(n⨶) = T▱, so that with ℜ(n) = 2ⁿ the critical recursion level is n⨶ = log₂(T▱).
Critical Exponents are the powers that govern how quantities scale near the Data Nova bifurcation point: the correlation length, the order parameter and the specific heat each follow a power law in the distance from the critical threshold.
