22. Our flux-gradient driven simulations correctly model the driving force as a result of local interactions; no artificial “uniform” external force is applied to the flux lines. A uniform force is employed in E. H. Brandt, J. Low Temp. Phys. 53, 41 (1983).

40. We observe the dynamics of the vortices at the marginally stable Bean critical state, rather than as they move away from the critical state. Other works which consider the case of a system moving away from the critical state include: E. Bonabeau and P. Lederer, Physica C 256, 365 (1996).

48. We note that the plastic flow seen in this work and in Refs. 31 is from flux-gradient-driven motion, as distinct from that observed in current-driven samples.
