233/-- RS picture of phase transitions:
234
235 1. **J-cost landscape**: Multi-dimensional surface
236 2. **Minima**: Phases are local minima
237 3. **First order**: Jump between separated minima
238 4. **Second order**: Minima merge, fluctuations diverge
239 5. **Critical point**: Topology change
240 6. **Nucleation**: Thermal crossing of barriers -/
