One spectrum, two fields

One spectrum, two fields
One spectrum, two fields. Two one-dimensional fields built from the same amplitudes and different phases. Their energy spectra are identical to the last bit, their two-point correlations agree to 2e-15, their second-order structure functions are the same function — and no measurement of either kind can tell them apart. Everything that distinguishes them is in the phases, which is where the cascade lives.

6 essays call field-statistics. The drawing above is what it returns with no arguments at all; every call below passes it something, because a placement that passes nothing draws whichever member of the family the generator happens to default to rather than the one its essay argues about.

It is also the blast radius. Changing field-statistics changes every figure listed here at once, and on this site it may change what they assert as well as what they show — which is what has to be rebuilt and looked at before the change is believed.

Where it is called

What each of these essays asks for instead of the defaults is on the regime index, which reads the parameters back out of the finished figures rather than out of the placements.
