Scheme of a ghost channel

Caption

Multiple connected ghost attractors (blue) attract trajectories from multiple directions while at the same time transiently slowing down the system dynamics at each ghost, before the trajectory can move to the next ghost attractor in the sequence. Underlying this behavior is a shallow plateau in the systems quasi-energy potential (inset)
