24. We note that alternative neighbor definitions, such as the "geometric neighbors" that result from a Delaunay tessellation [see, e.g., M. Tanemura, T. Ogawa, N. Ogita, J. Comput. Phys. 51, 191 (1983)] were tested and shown to give qualitatively similar results.

36. For lack of a detailed molecular picture, the morphology of a glassy material is commonly described as resembling the "frozen in" structure of a liquid. Simple (and pedagogically useful) descriptions of this nature typically appear in introductory materials science textbooks, review articles, and research monographs [see, e.g., W.D. Callister, Materials Science and Engineering, 3rd ed. (Wiley, New York, 1994) p. 388; J. M. Ziman, Models of Disorder (Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 1979), p. 101; C.A.
