"Dystactic phase" shall here on this wiki refer to any disordered phase of matter where
the positions and trajectories of individual atoms are to a high degree unknown and or quantum dispersed.

Dystactic phases include:'

• the liquid phase
• the gas phase
• the plasma phase - not that it matters much
• liquid crystals in an for them typical partially unknown state
• randomly piled up and sticking together nanoparticles (even if the individual nanoparticles are atomically precise). Unless perfectly selfassembled witout flaw.

And eventually:

• amorphous solid phase glasses with unknown structure
• polycrystalline solids with unknown grain boundary structures

Why a new term?

Just an invented term to complement the term "eutactic phase".
Note: Not "eutectic" (well melting) but eutactic (well ordered).

• dystactic phase ... not well ordered phase – typically referring to the liquid phase and/or the gas phase
• eutactic phase ... well ordered phase – synonym to machine phase

Misc

Some disordered electron spins (and especially nuclear spins)
may well be tolerable in machine phase (eutactic phase).

To be precise the spin systems can be a bit off a dystactic phase.
See: Inter system crossing for what that entails. (... inhowfar are cropping spins predictable in context ...)
Unforseen spinflipping requirements.

The phonon system is definitely a dystactic phase (if phase is applicable here).
It cannot be made "fully eutactic" to a poiunt where the phonon system makes no sense anymore.
Even at zero kelvin there is zero point energy from the uncertainty relationship.
