Cover Story: Voronoi diagrams generated by a random set of points were studied. Dividing the edges of Voronoi cells into random parts yielded positional ordering of Voronoi cells, reminiscent of the formation of lamellae and spherulites in semicrystalline polymers. Shannon entropy of the patterns showed a tendency to attain values typical for random patterns. Shannon entropy and the continuous measure of symmetry demonstrated asymptotic behavior, while approaching the saturation values with the increase in the number of the iteration steps. Shannon entropy is not an unambiguous measure of order in the 2D patterns; more symmetrical patterns may demonstrate higher values of Shannon entropy. View this paper

The transition from the quantum to the classical world is not yet understood. Here, we take a new approach. Central to this is the understanding that measurement and actualization cannot occur except on some specific basis. However, we have no establ...
