By constructing the spaces of physical states and realizing their decomposition into mutually orthogonal subspaces, we show that our statistical theory of heterophase fluctuations1), is applicable to a large class of systems exhibiting configurational and magnetic transitions. We demonstrate that this theory can describe not only transitions between a phase with a discrete symmetry and another phase with a continuous summetry, as in the case of a crystal-liquid transition of a ferromagnet-paramagnet one, but also transitions between phases, corresponding to point symmetry groups such as polymorphic transitions or reorientational magnetic transitions.
