(a) Time-dependent partitioning at one selected bifurcation in a simulated network. Each data point represents an average over 0.1 s time window. (b) Fraction of time that the time-dependent partition is reverse at a bifurcation for normal ($f_{\mathit{normal}}$, green symbols) and stiffer ($f_{\mathit{stiffer}}$, red symbols) cells. (c) Effect of cell deformability on frequency of time-dependent reverse partitioning, computed as $f_{\mathit{stiffer}}-f_{\mathit{normal}}$, versus the change in time-average partitioning ${\mathrm{\Delta }}_{N-Q}$.
