a Distribution of the lifetimes for initial conditions on the \((\pi /2,0,0)\) slice near the junction. Colours green, blue, and orange correspond to initial conditions chosen in the annular regions denoted G, B, and O as shown in the inset. Note that the initial conditions inside the region circumscribed by the purple circle remain undissociated until \(T=40\) ps. b, c, and d show the time evolution of the resonant angles \({\theta }_{1}-{\theta }_{3}\) (blue) and \({\theta }_{2}-{\theta }_{3}\) (red), polyad \(({J}_{1}+{J}_{2}+{J}_{3})\) (purple), and the actions \({J}_{1}\) (blue), \({J}_{2}\) (red), \({J}_{3}\) (green) respectively for a trajectory initiated near the junction on the \((\pi /2,\pi /2,0)\) slice of the web. e FLI versus time for the example trajectory. The portion highlighted in red corresponds to the timescale shown in b, c, and d. Inset shows the trapping around the junction in \(({J}_{1},{J}_{2})\) space.
