Power-Law Exponents Across Coordination Systems

Imposed → Mixed → Fixed → Adaptive → Emergent

Classification progression: ν across systems Classification progression: ν across systems

The power-law exponent ν across six systems, each bar colored and labeled by coupling type: spin chains with fixed (−0.40) and Hebbian (−0.14) coupling, neural spatial ξ (−0.0002, error bar spanning zero), the neural dynamical proxy (+0.64), social trust (+0.41), and firm sizes (+0.38). The pale green band marks the DCP predicted range from one quarter to one half; negative or near-zero exponents belong to rigid coupling, positive exponents to adaptive and emergent coupling.
