SUPPLEMENTARY FIG 1. Toy network introduced in the main text with one boundary. In this case, the right network WR is simply vacuum. We are interested in conditions under this network can support a localized edge mode at the right edge (blue highlighted curve).

SUPPLEMENTARY FIG 2. The first two eigenvalues of W (λ). We have plotted the real part of the second eigenvalue. The parameters are the same as those in Fig 2. As in the main text, we simulated a system in which two bulk networks L and R are connected by interfaces. The number of vertical rungs in the network is N = 200.
