Movie S10.

Time-lapse videos of representative small-scale defect pair-scattering events that happen spontaneously both in experimental and matching CGL wave states: Simple braiding event, virtual particles’ pair creation/annihilation event, and recombination event. Simulated CGL wave states were space-time rescaled to align with experimental wave states. Example defect pairs are the same as shown in Fig. 4A-C snapshots. Scale bar: 10 μm.
