Block-spin coarse-graining flows coupling constant toward fixed points

Current Spin Configuration

After Block-spin (2×2 → 1)

RG Flow: Each step coarse-grains 2×2 blocks to single spins by majority vote. The effective coupling K flows under this map. Below the critical point Kc≈0.441 it flows to K=0 (disordered fixed point); above it flows to K=∞ (ordered fixed point). The critical point is an unstable fixed point — the phase transition.
