Results as in Fig. 1, but now based on a stochastic model describing the orientation of magnetic spins in a network (an Ising model, exponential network, see Supplementary Information S1). Here, a press perturbation is performed, with the external magnetic field (h) of the perturbed node set to 10. The chance that a transition starts in a node of a given centrality and degree is expressed as the average fraction of simulations in which the network remained in the same state despite the perturbation. (For methods see main text and Supplementary Information S1). Parameter values: h = 1.6 (other parameters as in Table S1). The average fraction survived in plots b and c is plotted only if the value is based on at least 10 nodes.
