    I dunno sorry, I never studied glasses. I’m gonna guess that it’s probably not a true distinct phase and more likely a mix between various configurations, like a solid solution or sometimes. I’m just talking out my arse but.

    It doesn’t really matter, high level stuff like states of matter are pretty crude approximations anyway. Like yeah yeah you get enthalpy changes but that happens at all phase transitions so it’s not exactly that special.
