Four controlled identical realizations of a galaxy-cluster zoom-in simulation reveal 10-25% variability in galaxy masses driven by stochastic processes and modulated by feedback, establishing a noise-dominated but statistically reproducible regime at low resolution.

The OBSIDIAN simulation with its three-regime AGN feedback best reproduces the observed stellar masses, star formation rates, and ages of brightest group galaxies, unlike the other simulations which show mismatches in quenching behavior.
