crystallisation

A great metaphor will act like a "concept crystallisation" in your mind. It's like a coathanger you can hang your ideas on when you discuss the business with investors, customers, recruits, etc.

I think that's the thing, there's a bunch of us that have already been getting less happy with Mac OS updates over the years, so MBP was a crystallisation point of that. My next Laptop wont be a Mac in all likelihood, but the MBP changes have little to do with that.

"Subsequent re-crystallisation of the molten material will generate intense acoustic signals." Why would it make any noise?

I think this is correct; small amounts of glucose are generally added to foods where it is important to avoid crystallisation or coarse crystals, like in fudge, caramel, hard candies etc.

If the code is a crystallisation of their business idea then using it again is equivalent to re-using their business idea and i think that is highly un-ethical. if you are talking about reusing some CSS templates and changing the colors - meh.

Similarly, you can choose sugar pairs to promote or suppress crystallisation, as the recipe style requires. This is done by selecting sugars with similar or dissimilar molecular geometry and charge distribution.

These are pretty much the crystallisation of "Seldon Mathematics" - a way to accurately predict the probability of a sociologically meaningful event happening. Now, there are of course caveats.

Subsequent re-crystallisation of the molten material will generate intense acoustic signals."

There are numerous techniques in biochemistry and cell biology that depend on this fact - permeabilising cells for immunocytochemistry, or preparing membrane proteins for crystallisation, for example. You have to boil proteins in powerful detergents to be sure of denaturing them.

Whereas magmas at mid-ocean ridges become enriched in iron because of the crystallisation of plagioclase feldspar, at subduction zones the presence of water suppresses feldspar crystallisation, instead producing 'wet' minerals like amphibole. As a result, these magmas do not become enriched in iron as they rise through the crust, and instead become rich in sodium and potassium.

It doesn't affect any other animals, including us, because the crystallisation requires strong alkalinity and the presence of certain bacteria that are unique to the lepidopteran larval midgut. Bacillus thuringiensis is also widely used in organic certified agriculture.

The intricacy of the regular patterns of holes, ridges and indentations are again unquestionably biological, and this is impossible to interpret rationally as arising from an inorganic crystallisation process." Argument from personal incredulity...

Charged molecules + surface tension causes crystallisation. Organic molecules support self-catylization.
