<font size="2"><span style="font-size:11pt">One might have a situation like below where the bond strengths between molecules were gradually getting weaker, giving the effect of an increasing temperature. If the logical operations (as described) were in place
of H2O, then the "molecules" would be a bit more complex and retain at least the same relative magnitudes between the bonds, but some of the bonds between the logical operations could be relaxed. At a high level, to your question, the metaphor that comes
to mind is ice cubes in a cup of water. <br>

I haven't had time to answer a question I have through my own homework. So I'll just risk embarrassment and ask it here. Can the sub-models coupled like in the paper be in different phases? Or is the coupling "tight" such that a transition in one sub-system
forces a transition everywhere?<br>
<br>
Carrying on abusing the bad analogy ... if the coupling is loose enough to allow mixed phases, then I'd argue the Medea hypothesis is flawed and composite systems do not work that way. It's not suicide at all, but more like a dynamic immune system, where one
part attacks another part, perhaps because of ignorance that the other part is coupled to itself in some way.<br>
