Initial inner and outer orbital periods covered by each evolutionary channel. The triangular shape of the population is a direct consequence of the requirement on hierarchical structure and dynamical stability. The black dashed line shows where Pin = Pout. There are no systems near this line because of the dynamical stability criterion. There is some overlap between colours, as the evolution of a system is determined by more properties than just the orbital periods.
