Information structure that comprised the two-stream model
| Cluster | n | Hierarchy | A | B |

| L2 | 2500 | 0.26 | 0.10 | 0.10 |

| A4 | 2500 | 0.58 | 0.37 | 0.10 |
| A5 | 2500 | 0.74 | 0.64 | 0.10 |
| A6 | 2500 | 0.90 | 0.90 | 0.10 |
| B4 | 2500 | 0.58 | 0.10 | 0.37 |

The same data set is shown graphically in Fig. 2. The data set consisted of 9 data clusters. The three data clusters at the lowest hierarchical levels are labeled L1–L3. The higher hierarchical levels of the A stream are labeled A4–A6. The higher hierarchical levels of the B stream are labeled B4–B6. The table indicates the number of data points (n) within each data cluster and the mean location of each data cluster in three dimensions (hierarchy and dimensions A and B). Each dimension could range from 0 to 1. Each data cluster was distributed around its mean location in a Gaussian manner with a SD of 0.05.
