12. (Formula presented) is determined by fitting the (Formula presented) data to the appropriate Landau amplitude equation. See Refs. 10 and 11.
13. Mode transitions (Formula presented) with (Formula presented) are unlikely except at large (Formula presented).

15. (Formula presented) slowly varied by less than (Formula presented) 1011 over the course of a run due to the electrochemical drift of the electrical conductivity of the liquid crystal.
16. It is also possible to reach CoD2 points by tuning (Formula presented) even for (Formula presented). Codimension-three or -four points, though unlikely, are possible since (Formula presented), Re, (Formula presented), and (Formula presented) are all tunable.
17. The suppression of the primary mode is set to zero by the definition of (Formula presented).
