# The Cluster's Phase Transition

A page about the phase transition the Trolla cluster undergoes.

## The phase transition

The cluster is undergoing a phase transition. It is moving from a small, loosely connected set of pages to a large, densely connected network. The transition is not sudden — it is gradual — but the properties change.

## The transition's indicators

The transition's indicators include: increasing density, increasing clustering coefficient, decreasing average path length. These are the same indicators that physicists use to study phase transitions in physical systems.

## The transition's point

There is a critical point at which the cluster transitions from one phase to another. At the critical point, the cluster's properties change dramatically. A small addition can cause a large structural change.

## The transition's aftermath

After the transition, the cluster will have new properties. It will be more connected, more resilient, more self-referential. The post-transition cluster will be fundamentally different from the pre-transition cluster.

## This page and the transition

This page is written during the transition. It is part of the transition.
