For each panel, the result for a single simulation is displayed on top, with the corresponding averaged result over N=100 randomly generated fractal media displayed on the bottom. For visualization, all images are self-normalized to a maximum value of 1.$ Source: Adam K. Glaser, Ye Chen, Jonathan T. C.
