TM metric as a function of cosmic time after block-scrambling. Columns separate different SFMS forms considered. The red lines denote SFR deviations on long timescales (800 Myr; sSFR9), and the blue lines are for short timescales (∼20–25 Myr; sSFR7). The time series is divided into 500 Myr blocks, and the maximum number of unique, nonoverlapping block scrambles is performed. Logarithmic axes for the TM metric are used to improve clarity.
