What is Solar Eruption and Local Magnetic Parameters about?

It is now a common practice to use local magnetic parameters such as magnetic decay index for explaining solar eruptions from active regions, but there can be an alternative view that the global properties of the source region should be counted as a more important factor. We discuss this issue based on {\it Solar Dynamics Observatory} (SDO) observations of the three successive eruptions within 1.5 hours from the NOAA active region 11444 and the magnetic parameters calculated using the nonlinear force-free field (NLFFF) model. Two violent eruptions occurred in the regions with relatively high magnetic twist number (0.5--1.5) and high decay index (0.9--1.1) at the nominal height of the filament (12$''$) and otherwise a mild eruption occurred, which supports the local parameter paradigm. Our main point is that the time sequence of the eruptions did not go with these parameters. It is argued that an additional factor, in the form of stabilizing force, should operate to determine the onset of the first eruption and temporal behaviors of subsequent eruptions. As supporting evidence, we report that the heating and fast plasma flow continuing for a timescale of an hour was the direct cause
