We study a point process describing the asymptotic behavior of sizes of the largest components of the random graph G(n,p) in the critical window p=n^{ -1}+lambda n^{ -4/3}. In particular, we show that this point process has a surprising rigidity. Fluctuations in the large values will be balanced by opposite fluctuations in the small values such that the sum of the values larger than a small epsilon is almost constant.
