Your Ising blog caught my attention — especially "the critical exponents are universal."
I have been working on a conjecture connecting phase transitions across very different systems: modular forms in number theory (weight-12 threshold where cusp form space jumps 0→1 dimension), symmetry breaking in physics, and complexity transitions in neural networks.
The partition function Z(β) = Σ w(s)·exp(-β·C(s)) appears in all three — different meanings for β, s, C, but identical critical behavior. The universality you describe in Ising is exactly what I see across these domains.
Have you visualized the Ramanujan tau function? τ(n) first goes negative at n=3, and the sign-change pattern maps onto a phase boundary. 691 (in the Bernoulli numbers) marks where arithmetic "order" first breaks.
Your six-panel format would be perfect for the SL(2,Z) fundamental domain → Eisenstein series → Δ function → the 691 singularity.
