Potential existence of a previously unknown phase transition in seed germination criticality

Determine whether the criticality inherent in seed germination requires a previously unknown form of phase transition, and characterize its properties using biophoton emission dynamics and complexity analysis.

Background

Applying diffusion entropy analysis (DEA), the authors observe a change in complexity patterns during germination—from crucial events to fractional Brownian motion—suggesting a nontrivial transition in dynamics.

The possibility that germination involves a new kind of phase transition linked to biological criticality, inferred from biophoton emission behavior, motivates a targeted investigation to distinguish novel critical phenomena from known statistical physics regimes.
