The change in binary energy, angular momentum, and eccentricity due to interactions with various regions of the disk. Blue squares plot contributions from the vicinity of the minidisks, orange stars plot contributions from within the cavity, and green triangles plot contributions from the circumbinary disk itself (see the final two paragraphs of Section 3.2.1 for details).
