Considering dynamical synergy and integrated information; the unusual case of minimum mutual information
Thomas F. Varley
This brief note considers the problem of estimating temporal synergy and integrated information in dyadic dynamical processes. One of the standard estimators of dynamic synergy is…

A scalable, synergy-first backbone decomposition of higher-order structures in complex systems
Thomas F. Varley
Since its introduction in 2011, the partial information decomposition (PID) has triggered an explosion of interest in the field of multivariate information theory and the study of…

Evolving higher-order synergies reveals a trade-off between stability and information integration capacity in complex systems
Thomas F. Varley, Joshua Bongard
There has recently been an explosion of interest in how "higher-order" structures emerge in complex systems. This "emergent" organization has been found in a variety of natural and…
