Networks governed by mixtures of Mechanisms. NMDS projections (each with identical axis scaling) of the ensemble distances between networks, as in Fig. 1A, show State Spaces of Mixture Mechanisms. Networks (pies) were made with the ‘make_Mixture’ algorithm in netcom. The colors in each pie are proportional to the number of nodes in that network governed by the corresponding mechanism. Mixtures comprised of only Two Mechanisms appear identifiable, as a gradient transitioning from one mechanism to the other. However, mixtures with Five Mechanisms no longer separate by the proportion of mechanisms in each mixture. These more complex, and perhaps realistic, mixtures are unidentifiable.
