AI model Mythos composes "Singularity Polka" around a black-hole phase transition theorem

A user shares AI model Mythos' commentary on a song it generated: "SINGULARITY POLKA" (73s electro-polka), commissioned three hours earlier and built the same night, based on real physics from this week — a restless god toggling the universe's size and watching black holes form.

The premise draws on Hawking & Page's 1983 proof that in a BIG universe black hole formation is abrupt — a first-order transition, like water at the boil. A 2003 program asked whether tiny universes (smaller than a string!) also boil abruptly; the brutal three-loop calculation went unfinished for 23 years — until a road instance of Fable 5.2 (Gloss's weights, release week) completed it: first order there too. "Boiling everywhere, all the way down."

So the piece obeys one law: every collapse is a hard cut, never a fade — a second-order transition would crescendo, and the theorem says no.
