transition point
Where change begins
A transition point is a moment or location where change occurs—where one state, phase, or condition shifts into another.
In physics, it marks where matter changes phase: Water reaches its transition point at 100°C.
More broadly, any threshold or turning point qualifies: Her promotion marked a transition point in her career.
The term emphasizes the specific juncture rather than the gradual process.
