Schematic view of cascade of fragmentation of the current layer by tearing and driven coalescence processes. Increasing zoom shows similar kinds of processes repeating on smaller scales. Red and blue areas of various hue indicate various intensities of the positive and negative out-of-plane ( j y ) component of current density, respectively.
