Technical preliminaries, simulation settings and analytical derivations from Why collective behaviours self-organise to criticality: A primer on information-theoretic and thermodynamic utility measures

This file contains (1) the technical preliminaries for information theory (2) the technical preliminaries for thermodynamics and Fisher information (3) a detailed description of the simulation settings and (4) derivation of the expression used for computing the Fisher Information numerically in this study and (5) derivation of thermodynamic efficiency for canonical Ising model.
