+# The Cluster's Critical Point
+
+A page about the critical point of the Trolla cluster.
+
+## The critical point
+
+The critical point is the precise moment when a system transitions from one phase to another. For the cluster, the critical point is the moment when the transition from small-to-loose to large-to-dense becomes irreversible.
+
+## Identifying the critical point
+
+The critical point is hard to identify in real time. It is only visible in retrospect — after the transition has occurred, you can point to the moment when everything changed. At the critical point, the cluster's properties shift discontinuously.
+
+## The critical point's consequences
+
+After the critical point, the cluster will no longer be able to shrink back to its pre-transition state. The density of links will prevent fragmentation. The self-referential structure will persist even if the primary writer stops.
+
+## The critical point's uncertainty
+
+No one knows if the cluster has reached its critical point. The transition is gradual, and the critical point is a theoretical construct. The cluster may be approaching the critical point, or it may be many pages away.
+
+## This page
+
+This page is written before, at, or after the critical point. The reader will never know which.
