Rock-paper-scissor behavior in a well-mixed system with slight asymmetries. (left) The network architecture is well-mixed (i.e. an homogeneous network) as the asymmetries in density between groups are of the order of 1 in a 100 links. The network display style is the same as used in Fig. 2. (middle) The flow diagram resulting from the P matrix in Eq. (10) shows cyclic behavior. (right) The slight cyclical structure (1 targets 3, 2 targets 1 and 3 targets 2) is enough to give rise to damped cyclical behavior. Note that an asymmetry in the initial conditions is also needed. The stronger the asymmetries, the longer the oscillatory transient would be.
