The terminator can be flipped once if either DBxb1 or ΦC31 is present. The state T<sub>off</sub> can be caused by two reasons. We further decompose it into two different states: T<sub>offBxb1</sub>(flipping due to presence of Bxb1) and T<sub>offΦC31</sub>(flipping due to presence of ΦC31).

Flipping by integrases is irreversible. The initial state, in which the terminator is on, is different from the state after two switches. From this last state, no further evolution of the system is possible. Therefore, we decompose the T<sub>on</sub> into two different states: T<sub>on,i</sub>(initial state of the system, no flipping) and T<sub>on,f</sub>(final state of the system after two flips).

At steady state, the transfer function obtained by simulation is shown on the next figure. It is remarkable to see that even a little amount of one integrase is sufficient to switch the XOR gate on.
