The simulations t10n2 and t10n3 show an opposite pattern - for the same total threshold, the higher number of neighbors actually decreases the arrival time. This is because small differences in the first hours of the simulation lead to different spotting patterns, which in turn affect the fire ROS at different locations. As shown in Figure \ref{757567}, t10n2 shows a higher concentration of spot ignitions in the fire area south of Marshall Rd, whereas t10n3 shows a dense ignition area by Hwy 36 breaching the highway barrier. This is a consequence of firebrand generation being a function of fire ROS and illustrates that the outcome of these simulations is ultimately nonlinear.
