In a Sankey diagram, a flow FF enters a node and splits into two output branches with widths w1=pFw_1 = pF and w2=(1p)Fw_2 = (1-p)F. If the first branch w1w_1 undergoes a non-linear transformation such that the visual width Wvis=w1W_{vis} = \sqrt{w_1}, and we require the total perceived visual width to be conserved (Wtotal=Wvis,1+Wvis,2W_{total} = W_{vis, 1} + W_{vis, 2}), which condition must hold for the input flow FF if p=0.5p=0.5?
