Finally, we can use the birth-death diagrams to analyse families of simulations and see how critical behaviour emerges from them. The self assembly then rupture simulations were repeated 20 times with different random seeds and the birth death diagrams (as first seen in Figure )) for each trajectory were combined. The resulting combined birth-death diagrams are shown in Figure , and the critical behaviours are now more obvious. We can see in all three subfigures lines just after 100 µs in x and y axes, representing minor damage to rings when the rupturing process begins.
