Scatter plot of the pairs $\mathrm{\Delta }U$, ${\lambda }_P$ measured during QSS for a run of condition $C_{\mathrm{3,3}}$. From these points, a Gaussian kernel density estimate of the joint PDF (treating ${\lambda }_P$ on a log-scale) is constructed and shown as a contour plot. Red guidelines demarcate regions of interest. (Inset) Combination violin and box-and-whisker plots showing the ratio $n_{\text{soft}}/n_{\text{stiff}}$ for different categories of simulation cycles; c.f. Fig. 3. Inset is not blocking any of the scatter-plot data.
