Extended Data Fig. 1: Evolution of steric order Θ during the optimisation procedure.
From: Ideal non-crystals as a distinct form of ordered states without symmetry breaking

The steric order Θ as a function of iteration steps Nstep for 10 independent realisations (background) and after the ensemble average (bold red circles). The convergence is rapidly achieved after around five iterations, indicating that the system is only weakly perturbed from its initial state.
