Enhanced Stability and Chaotic Condensates in Multispecies Nonreciprocal Mixtures
Random nonreciprocal interactions between a large number of conserved densities are shown to enhance the stability of the system toward pattern formation. The enhanced stability is an exact result when the number of species approaches infinity and is confirmed numerically by simulations of the multispecies nonreciprocal Cahn-Hilliard model. Furthermore, the diversity in dynamical patterns increases with an increasing number of components, and novel steady states such as pulsating or spatiotemporally chaotic condensates are observed. Our results may help to unravel the mechanisms by which living systems self-organize via metabolism.
