Fig. 5

The solid black lines of the plot trace the maxima and minima of the four field’s oscillatory ranges for the given input intensities (meaning up to eight black lines for some input intensities are possible). Regions shaded in different tones of blue indicate where oscillations are occurring. The tone of the blue shading itself indicates how many different fields overlap in their respective oscillation intensity ranges. The lightest blue indicates no overlap between any number of fields, the darkest shading implying all four field’s oscillatory ranges overlap in this region, and finally the intermediate tone implies that only two of the four field’s oscillatory ranges overlap in this region. The red lines track the averages of the four fields over many oscillations, four red lines are always present but may overlap where fields have globally symmetric intensity evolutions.
