pyphi.partition.directed_tripartition_indices(N)

Return indices for directed tripartitions of a sequence.

Parameters

N (int) – The length of the sequence.

Returns

A list of tuples containing the indices for each partition.

Return type

list[tuple]

Example

>>> N = 1

pyphi.partition.directed_tripartition(seq)

Generator over all directed tripartitions of a sequence.

>>> seq = (2, 5)
>>> list(directed_tripartition(seq))  
[((2, 5), (), ()),
 ((2,), (5,), ()),
 ((2,), (), (5,)),
 ((5,), (2,), ()),
 ((), (2, 5), ()),
 ((), (2,), (5,)),
 ((5,), (), (2,)),
 ((), (5,), (2,)),
 ((), (), (2, 5))]
pyphi.partition.k_partitions(collection, k)

Generate all k-partitions of a collection.

Example

>>> list(k_partitions(range(3), 2))
[[[0, 1], [2]], [[0], [1, 2]], [[0, 2], [1]]]
class pyphi.partition.PartitionRegistry

Storage for partition schemes registered with PyPhi.

Users can define custom partitions:

Examples

>>> @partition_types.register('NONE')  
... def no_partitions(mechanism, purview):
...    return []

And use them by setting config.PARTITION_TYPE = 'NONE'

desc = 'partitions'
pyphi.partition.mip_partitions(mechanism, purview, node_labels=None)

Return a generator over all mechanism-purview partitions, based on the current configuration.

pyphi.partition.mip_bipartitions(mechanism, purview, node_labels=None)

Return an generator of all \(\varphi\) bipartitions of a mechanism over a purview.

Excludes all bipartitions where one half is entirely empty, e.g:

 A     ∅
─── ✕ ───
 B     ∅

is not valid, but

 A     ∅
─── ✕ ───
 ∅     B

is.

Parameters
  • mechanism (tuple[int]) – The mechanism to partition

  • purview (tuple[int]) – The purview to partition

Yields

Bipartition

Where each bipartition is:

bipart[0].mechanism   bipart[1].mechanism
─────────────────── ✕ ───────────────────
bipart[0].purview     bipart[1].purview

Example

>>> mechanism = (0,)
>>> purview = (2, 3)
>>> for partition in mip_bipartitions(mechanism, purview):
...     print(partition, '\n')  
 ∅     0
─── ✕ ───
 2     3

 ∅     0
─── ✕ ───
 3     2

 ∅     0
─── ✕ ───
2,3    ∅
pyphi.partition.wedge_partitions(mechanism, purview, node_labels=None)

Return an iterator over all wedge partitions.

These are partitions which strictly split the mechanism and allow a subset of the purview to be split into a third partition, e.g.:

 A     B     ∅
─── ✕ ─── ✕ ───
 B     C     D

See PARTITION_TYPE in config for more information.

Parameters
  • mechanism (tuple[int]) – A mechanism.

  • purview (tuple[int]) – A purview.

Yields

Tripartition – all unique tripartitions of this mechanism and purview.

pyphi.partition.all_partitions(mechanism, purview, node_labels=None)

Return all possible partitions of a mechanism and purview.

Partitions can consist of any number of parts.

Parameters
  • mechanism (tuple[int]) – A mechanism.

  • purview (tuple[int]) – A purview.

Yields

KPartition – A partition of this mechanism and purview into k parts.
