Example: One bit AND, NAND, OR and NOR

Each function has two $2\times 2\times2$ transition matrices

Each function is symmetric, so its two matrices identical

Each function has opposite (e.g. AND and NAND)

So mean matrix has the same value at every element


\begin{displaymath}N=1/4
\begin{array}{cc}
\begin{array}{cc}
1 & 1 \\
1 & 1 \\ ...
...begin{array}{cc}
1 & 1 \\
1 & 1 \\
\end{array}%
\end{array}%
\end{displaymath}

M1 is independent of u0

M1 is irreducible, doubly stochastic, with non-zero diagonal

Output of random function independent of inputs and random

Since the coefficients p' sum to 1, this is true for every Mi.

Output of whole tree random regardless of size
