The concept of critical mass, in my opinion applies not only to physics, but to decision making and even to governance (I am ex-UN); perhaps it takes not only an inherently adaptable and rational governmental structure but a critical mass of staff within the structures and agencies who carry out their responsibilities more or less honestly.  Critical mass can also explain why some ideas or movement explode and bring change while others do not. Conceptual catalysts and crisis are sometimes essential.
