Controls

Each cell is open with probability p. Water poured on top (cyan) seeps through connected open cells. Near p ≈ 0.59 a spanning path suddenly appears — a phase transition.

p_critical≈ 0.593

Governing equation

P (open) = 0.60, p_{c} \approx 0.5927 \Rightarrow spanning cluster

Reading this result: Right at the critical point p_c ≈ 0.5927: a spanning cluster first appears. This is a continuous (second-order) phase transition — the crossing probability rises sharply here and the connected cluster is fractal.
