The idea behind RG is to find a new coarse-grained description of the spin system where one has “integrated out” short distance fluctuations.
Physics has lots of structure that is local. ‘Averaging’ over local structures can reveal higher level structures.
On rereading I realized that the critical choice remains in the the way the RG is constructed. So the approach isn’t as general as I initially imagined it to be.
Can you explain? I don’t know much about renormalization groups.
