The most basic difference between the glass forming (vitrification) process and the crystallization may be seen in the figure on the left. Vitrification is actually not really a transition , because it does not involve any genuinely singular behaviors, in contrast with crystallization. A very likely implication is that, vitrification should not be due to a critical mode that features long-range correlations. Its dynamics should be essentially local, like what happens to a traffic congestion.
