25. We have redefined Q to "deemphasize" phase separation by averaging Q-values for the two phases weighting only by fractional area. Then, the simulated refined (Q, θ)-flow reveals behavior closer to the pair approximation prediction. However, configurations near the coarsening state do tend to evolve to the active or poisoned steady states along a roughly straight line trajectory (as should be expected for phase-separated states).
