Keyboard graph navigation: press N for concepts or E for relations; use arrow keys, Home, and End to move; Enter selects; Shift plus Enter selects and centers; plus and minus zoom; zero fits; Escape clears the selection. Use the visible viewport buttons as alternatives to dragging, wheel, and pinch gestures.
Select a concept
Select any concept, construction junction, or annotated relation by pointer, touch, search, or keyboard.
Construction junctions are diamonds. They show where multiple structures must coexist on the same carrier and satisfy compatibility conditions.
Move selected concept
Single-pointer and keyboard alternatives to dragging. Each activation moves the selected concept one step.
Magnetic order with a spontaneous net magnetization in zero applied field below an ordering temperature, after the thermodynamic symmetry-breaking limit is specified.
This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation
The Ising model idealizes uniaxial magnetic degrees of freedom as two-valued lattice variables and captures ferromagnetic symmetry breaking and criticality in applicable universality classes.
How to interpret this relation type
The target is a model, idealization, restricted ansatz, approximation scheme, phenomenological fit, or historical representation used for the source system or theory. It need not have a universal small error parameter and is not thereby a controlled limit or effective theory. The edge label and detail must identify the precise status.
