It is suggested that the above terms be used not only in a mathematical but also in a physical meaning: curdling to denote any cascade of instabilities resulting in contraction, and curd to denote a volume within which a physical characteristic becomes increasingly concentrated as a result of curdling. 5, record 1, English, - nucleation
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT
The process of curdling is an important question for the science of fractals: a field equation which displays nucleation (curdling) of particles out of a pure radiation field is discussed. The particle formation arises naturally from the nonlinear character of the equation rather than from the imposed quantization conditions. 6, record 1, English, - nucleation
