6. Of course, these two morphologies have different mean density of the Euler invariant, and in that sense, as well as in the sense of percolation, have "infinite range correlations". Unlike correlations of the order parameter φ, however, these can evolve from a white-noise initial state, by a purely local early-time dynamics in finite time.

10. The interfacial/inertial balance may be valid only at large length scales; since the interface area and kinetic energy are both decreasing, this cannot be true at all scales. See KENDON V. M., Phys. Rev. E, 61 (2000) R6071.
