Statistics of $\mathrm{\Delta }U$. (A) Trajectory of the network’s mechanical energy $U\left(t\right)$ for condition $C_{\mathrm{3,3}}$ (Materials and Methods). (A, Inset) A blow-up of the trajectory to show instances of rare events of energy release ($\mathrm{\Delta }U<-100\hspace{0.17em}{k}_{B}T$; blue) and accumulation ($\mathrm{\Delta }U>100\hspace{0.17em}{k}_{B}T$; green). (B) CCDFs of $\left|\mathrm{\Delta }{U}_{-}\right|$ (blue) and $\mathrm{\Delta }{U}_{+}$ (green) collected from five runs when the system is at QSS after 1,000 $\mathrm{s}$. Dotted lines in lighter colors represent fits to the data of a half-normal CCDF, and dashed lines represent fits of stretched exponentials. (C) The normalized power spectral density of $U\left(t\right)$ for a single run at QSS from which the spectral exponent $\beta =1.72$ is determined by fitting a power law, shown offset in red. (D) The semivariogram obeys the scaling relationship $\gamma \sim {\tau }^{2H_a}$ over the scaling range.
