Abstract
The critical point in an infinite system is smeared out or “rounded” in a finite system into a “critical region.” This region has some structure associated with it, which is difficult to study except by means of simulations, i.e., Monte Carlo. I have begun a study of this structure in small two-dimensional Ising model systems, using the Markov property method.
