Before revision:  The model implements techniques for rapid, global , reversible, conservative equilibration of node states followed by slow, local , irreversible, dissipative adaptation of the edge states as a means to create multiscale order.
After revision:  The model implements techniques for rapid, global , reversible, conservative equilibration of node states and slow, small-scale , irreversible, dissipative adaptation of the edge states as a means to create multiscale order.
