Table 1.

The macro and microscale temporal mutual information and their respective synergy biases.

gate microscale MI macroscale MI microscale syn. bias macroscale syn. bias
AND 1.623 bit 0.811 bit 0.533 0.578
OR 2.811 bit 0.811 bit 0.518 0.578
XOR 2.5 bit 1 bit 0.52 0.833

For three logic gates (AND, OR and XOR), this table shows the effects that going up a level of abstraction has on the temporal mutual information and the synergy biases. It is important to understand that while the micro and macroscale implement the same function, the temporal mutual information can be very different.
