pyphi.macro.search.intrinsic_units

pyphi.macro.search.intrinsic_units(substrate, micro_history, *, bounds, parallel=None, prune=None, progress=None)

The recursion’s fixed point: the valid-unit pool plus all verdicts.

prune="certified" skips competitor partition sweeps whose outcome is certified by the intrinsic-information requirement; "off" evaluates everything; None (default) selects "certified" exactly when the active system measure applies the requirement. Units and verdicts are identical under every mode.

parallel and progress govern the evaluation of candidate systems; None defers to config.infrastructure.parallel_macro_system_evaluation.

Parameters:

• substrate (Substrate)

• bounds (SearchBounds)

• parallel (bool | None)

• prune (str | None)

• progress (bool | None)

Return type:

IntrinsicUnitsResult
