The fluctuations in a stochastic Ginzburg-Landau simulation (256x256x256 lattice with periodic boundary conditions) at the critical temperature. Due to the divergence of the correlation length large correlated domains form. These are represented by the red and blue blobs. Note that these are fluctuations around the mean field. The longevity of these structures implies that information is being stored in the fluctuations, with maximal storage occurring at the critical temperature.
