Fig. 2

Network display of transition matrices for \(N=20, \mu =10^{-6}, c=0.0\). a. De Finetti diagram showing symmetry (dashed blue axis, red arrows corresponding to identical probabilities) and \(F_{IS}\) isocurves (gray and black). b \(p_{stay}\) (node color), probability to stay at each node for one time step. c Most probable path connecting (N,0,0) to (0,0,N). d Most probable neighbors (directed edges) and in-degree (node color), i.e. for each node the most likely outbound transition at the next time step and the number of inbound most likely transitions from other states.
