In direct contrast to this, figure presents contributions of consecutive ADOs from the Matsubara axis, M 1, {1 1 , 2 1 , 3 1 , 4 1 }. All four sub-plots show very uniform oscillating patterns with small changes in amplitude based on the position of the ADO along the axis. There is a linear decrease in the equilibrium value of the trace distance as a result of the normalised positive virtual information flux having sharper oscillations and a steeper gradient. Based on the uniformity of oscillations and peak locations in the positive flux it is clear that information flow through ADOs in the same axis is very similar whereas ADOs of the same tier but in different Matsubara axes are quite different. The linear increase in relative peak amplitude also highlights that higher tier ADOs are accompanied by a corresponding increase in virtual information recurrence. This does not mean that higher tier ADOs contribute more virtual information, but that relative to their size each tier contributes a larger proportion of the maximum virtual information content.
