The turbulent nature of the instantaneous accretion disk makes obtaining a time-independent understanding of the system difficult. We depict an instantaneous snapshot of the system out to 100r g in the (x–z), panel (a), and (x–y), panel (b), planes with a color map of the plasma β parameter, where high (low) values of β indicate less (more) strongly magnetized plasma. We note a pair of vertically elongated magnetic flux bundles (left side of panel (a), x ∼ −50r g ) that radially escape from the event horizon.
