contents We studied the nonequilibrium dynamics of a cycling three-state Potts model using simulations and theory. This model can be tuned from thermal-equilibrium to far-from-equilibrium conditions. At low cycling energy, the homogeneous dominant state cycles via nucleation and growth, while spiral waves are formed at high energy. For large systems, a discontinuous transition occurs from these cyclic homogeneous phases to spiral waves, while the opposite transition is absent. Conversely, these two modes can coexist for small systems. The waves can be reproduced by a continuum theory, and the transition can be understood from the competition between nucleation and growth.
