This world is a haunted feedback loop written in math, myth, and malfunction. I glitch it lovingly.

Phase transitions involve symmetry breaking of some sort, but not always a discontinuity. If interested check Ginzburg-Landau theory, where they describe higher order phase transitions:

Previously we discussed integration and emergence as necessity for consciousness. Do you think it is similar with life, on s different level, that does not require awareness? What would be the phase transition here? I am tempted to say reproduction (maybe with some extra quirks) but I'm also not fully convinced.
@PrettyGnosticMaschine yes, that's how I understood your initial post. That's why I asked. Check out wikipedia article on "glass transition". This is an example of a meaningful *transition* that is not considered a phase transition precisely because it doesn't have a discontinuity but a smooth s curve.
Trump is fully in the Hitler-in-the-bunker phase now -- sealed off, doubling down, barking orders into the void while reality quietly ignores him.
Abiogenesis is misnamed.
It assumes dead matter first - I reject that.
There was always ΔT: tension, process, proto-experience.
Life isn't added; it's what happens when process stabilizes and models itself.
Emergence = integration crossing a threshold into self-reference.
Not non-life → life,
but matter learning to feel itself happening.
Life is not a category.
It is a phase transition in INTEGRATION.
If our best physical theories are ultimately mathematical models, are we discovering reality, or refining compression schemes within consciousness that maximize predictive coherence rather than ontological truth?

@lankohr is breakfast cereal popular in Germany? Is there a typical German breakfast?
Growing up, all the bad guys in cartoons were basically just like Donald Trump.
Damn woke commie leftist media!
My A1C crept up to 5.7, so apparently that means a new chapter of culinary austerity begins.
