A preliminary exploration is made of the possibility that at sufficiently high seed densities, explosive galaxy formation might percolate, thus losing the initial explosion scale. The method used to simulate galaxy formation and to determine the correlations of the resulting distribution of material is discussed. The method is applied to a typical case, the results are summarized, and trends in the data are discussed. The plausibility of this model in the 'real world' is briefly examined by relating its parameters to physical masses, distances, and times. It is found that the average radius of an explosion is almost about 3 Mpc, and the average number density of exploded galaxies is about 0.01/cu Mpc.
