“…If there exists a nonequilibrium, free energy-like potential with its minima at = 0 and ≠ 0 (i.e., a rest state and a convection state, respectively), which correspond to an ice state and a warm state, respectively, in the study of iceage cycles [2,3], such a potential should be investigated along with its symmetry breaking [1,19] to understand the detail of the competition mechanism; and this is an important open question. Our numerical and experimental findings suggest that the control of SR and ISR by combining amplitude and phase noises can be very useful for electrical applications, such as sensing technologies [36,49,50] and brain science [12,13], for which additional phase noise can be readily introduced. Furthermore, the transition between SR and ISR may provide effective controls for desired and undesired performances in various related fields [51,52].…”
