As others have said, no. Phase, like temperature, is an emergent property, which means that it appears upon interaction with others. Like the saying, "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergence

Extra info no one asked for:

Non-linear pattern formation is a branch of soft condensed matter physics that studies emergent patterns. Look up books by Philip Ball. Also the prof from the increasing-size dominoes meme, Dr. Stephen W. Morris, researched in this area before his recent retirement.

There are several different components to being able to read. One of which is comprehension, which is what you are struggling with.

I met the people who created the spell read program, which works directly with issues pertaining to literacy. Digging around, they seem to have sold out to Kaplan, but I also see some online schools which offer the program: https://www.halifaxlearning.com/theprogram. I do not know if this would be affordable to you, but at least back then it was a very effective program.

All the best.
