Information integration and complexes for an optimized sparse network having fixed number of connections of equal strength. The network was obtained through an evolutionary rewiring algorithm (n = 8, 16 connections of weight 0.25 each, c_i = 0.00001, c_p = 1). Note the heterogeneous arrangement of the incoming and outgoing connections for each element, the balanced degree distribution (two afferent and two efferent connections per element) and the low number of direct reciprocal connections.
