The old example of the change in phase states: water is solid when frozen, gravitational (equilibrious) when liquid, and chaotic when steam.
If you want chaos and structure you have to look at the critical point.
At the critical point, the scattering is so intense that the system becomes opaque. This phenomenon is called critical opalescence. The domains demonstrate some interesting properties, such as fractal shapes, and there is a peak in the heat capacity. This critical transition temperature is a maximum with respect to the composition. Thus it can be determined by interpolating transition temperatures from known compositions.
