1995 decolation

σ = (v - vc)t describes the power law for the conductivity increase
As percolation describes effectively a formation of a network with connected pathways as presented with the equation xxx where the exponent describes the steepness or fractality of the process. The reverse phenomenon can be described with the same dynamics, decrease in the concentration of the conducting particles, the conductivity will undergo sudden loss. The gel will collapse if the junction points holding the network will for instance melt, if they are crystalline junction points.
Melting is a thermodynamic phase transition resulting in an eventual equilibrium phase, liquid water
And nobody thought about reversible process which I now call decolation = BREAKING THE NETWORK. Thus melting of large surface will break in parts, heat and mass transfer mare maximized as in the nanotech dreams and the ice will turn to water as fast as it was formed. No linear behavior should be expected/
Same with melting. When the surface area increases there will be a sudden loss of the ice sheet, in a decolative manner. The melting of Greenland can not be predicted from momentary linear like behavior but can be predicted the inversed equation for percolation
