Super critical regime where birth/death ratio is too high. The clump is growing indefinitely and looks like a ball, except some cracks.
Below, the birth/death ratio is still higher than the critical value, so it still grows indefinitely but it is low enough that the clump grows much more branchy than a ball.
Below, the growth rate is too small to sustain indefinite growth, so the clump stays bounded. The Markov chain is ergodic.
