Critical Point
A point where the gradient of the loss function is zero, including local minima, the global minimum, saddle points and local maxima. The type of critical point determines the convergence behavior of gradient flow.

In the two-neuron ReLU teacher-student model, any critical point in the population squared-loss landscape at which all student weights are nonzero is either a global minimum or a saddle point.
A critical point is a point where the gradient of the loss function is zero, including local minima, global minima, saddle points, and local maxima.
Tipping points refer to abrupt, self-sustaining and hard-to-reverse changes that occur after a component of the climate system crosses a threshold through slow change, such as irreversible melting of the Greenland ice sheet, degradation of the Amazon rainforest into savanna, and weakening of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation.
Mainstream climate models are good at depicting gradual change but struggle to accurately specify the threshold locations and trigger timing of tipping points, so tipping point risks are often excluded from central projections.
When the penetration rate of an innovation breaks through approximately 15–20%, a tipping point of accelerated diffusion often occurs.
