Randomized trial reveals distinct regime boundaries in finite systems, suggesting a shift from universality classes.

Key Points

This research aims to challenge the traditional concept of universality in phase transitions, advocating for the significance of regime boundaries in finite systems.
Cross-model analysis on five phase-transition models: 2D Ising, 3D Ising, 2D Potts q=3, 2D Potts q=4, and 2D XY.
Employing the Factor Hierarchy Law and the Testability Norms for data validation.
Use of statistical tests to evaluate breakpoint detections across finite lattice systems.
Bimodal splitting observed in finite lattices, with specific temperature ranges identified for phase transitions.
Consistent evaluation of the precursor regime boundary shows stability in critical parameters across differing lattice sizes.
The identification of new regime boundaries in disordered models contradicts traditional universality predictions.
