The 110 nodes of the singleton group S10 are permanently occupied to mimic the presence of self antigen, see Figure 5B. The table shows the mean occupation 〈n(v)〉 and the mean occupation of neighbors 〈n(∂v)〉 for all groups as obtained for p = 0.074 from simulations and from mean-field theory (MFT) with a dM = 11 module. When deviating, the data for the case without self are given in parentheses. The groups S1, … , S5 have direct neighbors in S10, where S1 has the most ones. Therefore, the change in 〈n(∂v)〉 due to self is largest for S1. Results from simulation and mean-field theory are in good agreement. The simulation data are obtained as follows. We first computed the temporal average of each node’s occupation from 30,000 time steps. Then the mean of these data over all nodes of the same group is calculated. The variance of the mean over the group members is of the order 10−3.
