Temporal causal emergence. (A) Sm is constituted of
second-order Markov elements. (B) Analysis at the micro timestep, in which AB = [11],
specifies a cause–effect structure with two clustered concepts with low
irreducibility. (C) The macro timestep {α,β} = [On, On] is a grouping over two micro
timesteps. (D) The macro conceptual structure, which is more irreducible than the
micro conceptual structure, is less clustered and has an additional concept (see
text).
