Phase transitions are typically described using thermodynamic variables such as temperature, pressure, entropy, and free energy. While these quantities capture macroscopic behavior, they do not explain why a system reorganizes so abruptly. This paper presents a mechanistic interpretation aligned with the MID/QC framework, expressed entirely in standard physics language. In this view, a phase transition occurs when the internal oscillatory and torsional patterns of a system become unstable and reorganize into a more coherent configuration. This approach unifies boiling, freezing, crystallization, cavitation, magnetic transitions, and early‑universe symmetry breaking under a single dynamic principle: coherence formation within a metastable oscillatory medium.
