  In this article we show that the phase-ordering scaling state for binary
fluids is not necessarily unique and that local correlations in the initial
conditions can be responsible for selecting the scaling state. We describe a
new scaling state for symmetric volume fractions that consists of drops of the
one component suspended in a matrix of the other. The underlying reason for the
existence of the newly observed scaling state is that the main coarsening
mechanism of binary fluids which is the deformation of interfaces by flow is
not acting, and this leads to a new scaling law. An initial droplet state can
be formed by a number of physical phenomena. In a unified description this can
be undestood as local correlations in the initial conditions. Local
correlations with length $\xi$ are believed to be irrelevant when the typical
length scale L of the system is large ($L\gg \xi$). Our result shows that these
initial correlations, contrary to current thinking, can be important even at
late times.
