As a system approaches a bifurcation point, convergence to steady state slows dramatically. Near criticality, relaxation time diverges according to universal scaling laws. The system exhibits characteristic critical exponents that govern short-time behavior, asymptotic decay, and crossover between regimes.
view paper→Qualitative phase transition via spectral condensation at criticality. Progressive reentrant coupling drives system toward infrared critical regime where extensive band of slow collective modes emerges (spectral condensation), reorganizing dynamics qualitatively. Creates emergent capabilities absent at subcritical regime - transition in kind not degree, regardless of system scale.
