Avalanches in this complex system. Probability density of the avalanche magnitude for the actual data (circles) and for the reproduced data (line) obtained with the microscopic model. Avalanche magnitudes were normalized by the corresponding N(0). A total of 100 runs per movie were averaged to cancel out any special condition of the initial threshold distributions. The distributions ρ t (x) were chosen randomly from a normal distribution with fixed (μ = 400, σ = 0.45 μ) for all movies. Note that the model reproduces both small and large events.
