An argument is presented in the attempt to link the nucleation phenomenon to a broader interpretation and manifestations termed “Fluctuation and Dissipation theory”. The connection is made that the nucleation phenomenon can be thought of as being developed from “noise” which in the case of glass and crystals is spontaneous as the composition fluctuates. In many ways it will be shown it to have phenomenological similarities to turbulence and the Liesegang phenomenon, and perhaps even to some extent, evolution [1] which all having sudden threshold-like behaviors. In this paper an argument will be made of the common features of these three phenomena by comparing the mathematical equations describing the three phenomena and indicating that they inherently contain the terms that give rise to instability and how this can explained with recourse to fluctuation/dissipation theory.
