  This theory combines a thermodynamic approach with a dynamic one in order to
describe glass transition. Glass transition is regarded as an inaccessible
second order phase transition, which is interrupted because of premature
critical slowing down, caused by the system's frustration. The
frustration-induced vortices are present in the structure besides
thermoactivated vortices, and prevent the development of the order parameter
fluctuations, that leads to the critical slowing down the system kinetics at
some temperature above the phase transition point.
