Fig. 4

No driving. Four snapshots of current density jz showing outward propagating MHD waves. Notice the trapping and interference of waves at the X-point; compounding of these waves here precipitates an X-point collapse, leading to the formation of a current sheet and initiation of magnetic reconnection.
This figure is made of several images, please see below:
