(a,b) Minimum work-rate (equivalent to a minimum concentration difference $n\left(\mathrm{Hi}\right)-n\left(\mathrm{Lo}\right)$, where $n\left(\mathrm{Lo}\right)=5=\mathrm{const}.$) required to maintain stable nonequilibrium, high-concentration states in a stochastic chemical reaction network featuring winner-take-all dynamics. $S_{\mathrm{Low}}$: Low-concentration steady state, $S_{\mathrm{High}}$: High-concentration steady state. (c) Representative simulation trajectory for $n\left(\mathrm{Hi}\right)=200$. (d) Representative simulation trajectory for $n\left(\mathrm{Hi}\right)=400$.
