A core characteristic of these systems is the Strong Maximum Principle, which asserts that the highest and lowest values within a domain must occur either at the initial time or on the spatial boundaries. Consequently, these systems are incapable of generating new localized "hot" or "cold" spots within their interior; instead, they immediately begin to dissipate and smooth out any existing internal variations. Visual simulations confirm this behavior by showing that an initial internal peak will strictly decay and spread outward over time, ensuring that no part of the interior ever exceeds the maximum value established at the start of the process.
