To test the impact of positioning the largest segments on the left, the initial condition in Fig. is rotated to place the small black segment at the left edge, see Fig. . In this case, using the same NN 10k as in Fig. , mixing halts after a single step as the NN appears to apply the pattern of cuts that it learned for the well-ordered configuration having the largest black segment on the left and implementing a left-to-right pattern of cuts with each step. Without the largest segments on the left, the NN approximation of the LS method, which expects a leftto-right pattern, is unable to mix.
