- pyphi.formalism.iit3.concept(system, mechanism, purviews=None, cause_purviews=None, effect_purviews=None, **kwargs)[source]#
Return the IIT 3.0 concept specified by a mechanism.
A concept pairs the mechanism’s maximally irreducible cause (its MIC) with its maximally irreducible effect (its MIE). The empty mechanism specifies the null concept.
- Parameters:
system (System) – The system the mechanism belongs to.
mechanism (tuple[int]) – The mechanism for which to determine the concept.
purviews (tuple[tuple[int]], optional) – A list of purviews to consider.
cause_purviews (tuple[tuple[int]], optional) – A list of cause purviews to consider, overriding
purviews.effect_purviews (tuple[tuple[int]], optional) – A list of effect purviews to consider, overriding
purviews.kwargs (Any)
- Returns:
Distinction – The concept of the given mechanism.
