Example of gauge transformations between models with n=4 spins. Models are represented by diagrams (color online): spins are full dots • in presence of a local field, empty dots ∘ otherwise; blue lines are pairwise interactions (ϕμ=sisj); orange triangles denote 3-spin interactions (ϕμ=sisjsk); and the 4-spin interaction (s1s2s3s4) is a filled blue triangle. Note that model a) has all its interactions grouped on 3 spins; the gauge transformations leading to this model are shown along the arrows. All the models belong to the same complexity class, with |M|=7, λ=4 and a number of independent operators nM=3 (e.g., s1,s2 and s3 in model a)—see tables in Section SM-6 of the Supplementary Material. The class contains in total 15 models, which are grouped, with respect to the permutation of the spins, behind the 4 representatives shown here with their multiplicity (×m). Models a), b), c) and d) are respectively identified by the following sets of operators: (a) M={s1,s2,s3,s1s2,s1s3,s2s3,s1s2s3}; (b) M={s1,s2s3,s3s4,s4s2,s1s2s3,s1s3s4,s1s2s4}; (c) M={s2,s4,s2s4,s1s3,s1s2s3,s1s3s4,s1s2s3s4}; and (d) M={s1s2,s1s3,s1s4,s2s3,s2s4,s3s4,s1s2s3s4}.
