Size distribution of the discrete clusters in each model. (A) Size distribution of the discrete clusters in physiological conditions (TEM, yellow solid line), and all models with 40% NRO (Random NRO, red dots; Random DLA, green solid line, CCA at the 300th step, blue dashed line; CCA at the 700th step, orange dashed line: CCA at the 1,000th step, cyan dashed line). (B) Size distribution of discrete clusters in physiological condition (TEM, yellow solid line), and all models with 50% NRO (Random NRO, red dots; Random DLA, green solid line, CCA at the 300th step, blue dashed line; CCA at the 700th step, orange dashed line: CCA at the 1,000th step, cyan dashed line). (C) Size distribution of the operating range in the CCA model with 40% NRO (0 step, blue; 100th step, bluish purple; 200th step, red; 300th step, green; 400th step, orange; 500th step, pink). (D) Size distribution of operating range in CCA model with 40% NRO (600th step, brown; 700th step, magenta; 800th step, light blue; 900th step, purple; 1,000th step, deep orange; 1,100th step, light green; 1,200th step, light orange). (E) Size distribution of operating range in the CCA model with 35 or 40% NRO (CCA with 35% NRO at the 0th step, brown; CCA with 35% NRO at the 700th step, green; CCA with 40% NRO at the 0th step, light blue; CCA with 40% NRO at the 500th step). (F) Reaction space appearance at each condition. Images of corresponding simulated reaction spaces to the lines in panels (C,D,E) are captured and shown according to the peak value of the size of the distribution of their operating range. Each simulation condition is shown at the top-left position of each image. Six images arranged at the upper left space portray the appearance of reaction spaces used for the graph in (C). Seven images arranged at the lower left space are the appearance of reaction spaces used for the graph in (D). Four images in the right space are the appearance of reaction space used for the graph in (E).
