Figure 15.

The trajectories of kink 1 (a) and kink 2 (b), drawn on the stereographically projected (θ_i, γ_i) plane, at two different snapshots in the same simulation. Both trajectories of (a) start at site Glu16. Snapshot 4206 ends at Pro21 and snapshot 4410 ends at Asn22. Trajectories of (b) both end at Gly30; in snapshot 4206, it starts at site Glu26 and in snapshot 4410 at site Glu25. The snapshot values are shown only to indicate that the time difference is very short, and the fluctuations are rapid. A more precise determination of the time difference is not meaningful.
