Abstract

Variation of positional information, measured by the two-body excess entropy $\mathsf{S}_{2}$ , is studied across the liquid-solid equilibrium transition in a simple two-dimensional system. Analysis reveals a master relation between $\mathsf{S}_{2}$ and the freezing temperature T₁, from which a scaling law is extracted, $-\mathsf{S}_{2}{\sim}(T-T_{1})^{-1/3}$ . Theoretical and practical implications of the observed universality are discussed.
