function H = entropy(rulesMatrix)

% ENTROPY Calculate the entropy of the system. Indicator for the diversity of the rules in the network.
%   
%   ENTROPY(RULESMATRIX) calculates the entropy by inspection of the RULESMATRIX
% 
%   Input:
%       rulesMatrix        - 2^k x n matrix containing transition logic rules for each node
%
%   Output: 
%       H                  - Normalized Entropy [0,1]
