Fig. 3: Simulations of Trajectories of the Potential Landscapes with and without Perturbation.
From: Viewing social isolation as a complex dynamical system: A theoretical and computational framework
The simulated trajectories correspond to 1 of the 4 simulated potential landscapes. Each plot was simulated with 10 trajectories in different colors to observe how the Wiener process (i.e., stochastic noise) can affect the system even under identical parameter values. The left side of the plot is without perturbation, and the right side of the plot (i.e., after a sharp increase or decrease in trajectories) is with perturbations. A Trajectory plot of the resilient socially isolated state. B Trajectory plot of the destabilizing socially isolated state. C Trajectory plot of the tipping state. D Trajectory plot of the resilient healthy state.
