The expected next-period degree (Y-axis) as a function of the current-period degree (X-axis) is marked by the black dotted line. The next-period expected degree was calculated per current-period degree using the respective column in the transition matrix (Fig. 3). The green line marks the stability reference - when the expected next-period degree is equal to the current-period degree
