The scaling laws of Edwards et al. for cluster fragmentation at the two-dimensional percolation threshold, recently confirmed also in high dimensions, explain the Alexandrowicz observation that the Becker–Döring equation of classical nucleation theory and its generalization by Katz, Saltsburg, and Reiss fail right at the critical point.
