Competition of structural motifs in two example glass-formers. Competing pairwise motifs dominate in ordered structures self-assembled from shapes nearby in shape space. Panels show probabilities of observing certain pairwise configurations, Pobs(c, θ), and the negative log of the normalized distributions, −logP(c, θ), for disordered systems at the indicated densities and nearby crystals at ϕ = 0.62 (or ϕ = 0.6 for γ-brass). Error bars are calculated in a manner detailed in the Motif identification section of the Methods. a Competition between face-connected aligned and twisted motifs at (αa, αc) = (0, 0.5). Motifs are prevalent in nearby diamond and dodecagonal quasicrystal (dqc) structures. b Competition between face-connected aligned and twisted motifs and a face-edge connected motif at (αa, αc) = (0.2, 0.5). Motifs are prevalent in nearby diamond, dqc, fcc, and γ-brass structures
