The topic of course is critical mass. It is hypothesized as the accumulating of enough core knowledge of any subject in order to enable spontaneous use or otherwise maintain the viability and cohesive integrity of that store.
Now to further elucidate my thoughts I have come up with these rough diagrams to represent the phases through which it might occur.
Phase I
This phase is the resting phase or initial phase. It could be either at the onset of a course of action to attain the requisite knowledge or a general state of being which is not inclined to any such acquisition.Usually any less than a dedicated, sustained, and planned course of action will relegate a person to merely existing at this state without reaching the higher phases. At this stage a substantially massive level of exertion is needed to create impetus.

Phase II
In this phase, the applied study of underlying knowledge and reiterative processes starts to cement the building blocks of that particular subject. At this level it is usually easier to maintain equilibrium with the knowledge already gained with a comparatively lower amount of atrophy. | ||

Phase III
At this phase the body of knowledge has all but become an acquired function, akin to motor skills which have become embedded in the brain and controlled subconsciously e.g. walking or riding a bike. This is the phase, where most commonly, subjects are able to create emergent ideas and knowledge, based on the ones already acquired. This might give rise to creation of addendums to existing fields, or even possibly creating entirely new ones. |
