Query: A computational study explaining processes underlying phase transition   In real-world systems, phase transitions often materialize abruptly, making
it difficult to design appropriate controls that help uncover underlying
processes. Some agent-based computational models display transformations
similar to phase transitions. For such cases, it is possible to elicit detailed
underlying processes that can be subsequently tested for applicability in
real-world systems. In a genetic algorithm, we investigate how a modest
difference in the concentration of correct and incorrect knowledge leads to
radically different outcomes obtained through learning efforts by a group of
agents. We show that a difference in concentration of correct and incorrect
knowledge triggers virtuous and vicious cycles that impact the emergent
outcome. When virtuous cycles are in operation, delaying the onset of
equilibrium attains superior outcomes. For the vicious cycles, reaching
equilibrium quickly attains superior outcomes. Our approach helps uncover
simple mechanisms by which Nature works, jettisoning the yoke of unrealistic
assumptions endemic in mathematics-based approaches. Our explanatory model
helps direct research to investigate concentrations of inputs that obtains
outcomes on the favourable side of phase transitions. For example, by tracking
change in concentration of relevant parameters, scientists may look for reasons
why cells cease to reproduce fit cells in organs. This can help design
rejuvenation of organs. Further, in the world of physics, our model may inform
in situations where the dominant Ising model falls short.
