Phase transitions, a measure of learning

Phase transitions demonstrate a loose coupling. A tight coupling like in KMeans mirror the distortion at each level. A loose coupling enables the higher level to move at a different pace, disjoint, from the lower level. This separation between levels, indicates that the levels represent different descriptions of the data, they speak different languages.
