DESCRIPTION:Sabyasachi Bhattacharya\nTata Institute of Fundamental Researc
 h\, Mumbai\, India\nInterfaces are sometimes imagined objects which conjur
 e up different images in different contexts. They represent boundaries bet
 ween real but dissimilar objects\, have an identity of their own and typic
 ally ‘live’ in dimensions greater than their own. They are distinct fr
 om the objects they separate\, but share some of their attributes. They be
 come more dominant as physical systems become smaller or more inhomogeneou
 s or environmentally more constrained. In this lecture I will discuss the 
 usefulness of imparting reality to imagined interfaces in some natural phe
 nomena\, focusing on a simple system that might be called “marginally gl
 assy”.\n
