综合信息论提供了一个数学框架，充分表征物理系统的因果结构。在这里，我们介绍PyPhi，一个Python软件包，它实现了因果分析的框架，并展开了二进制元素的离散动力系统的完整因果结构。该软件允许用户轻松地研究这些结构，作为一个最新的参考实现的形式主义的综合信息理论，并已被应用于研究的复杂性，出现，和某些生物问题。我们首先提供了一个主要的算法的概述，并在分析一个示例系统的过程中演示PyPhi的功能，然后描述算法的设计和实现的细节。PyPhi可以通过命令“pip install pyphi”与Python的包管理器一起安装在配备Python 3.4或更高版本的Linux和macOS系统上。PyPhi是开源的，并在GPL v3下授权;源代码托管在GitHub上https://github.com/wmayner/pyphi。全面和不断更新的文档可在https://pyphi.readthedocs.io上获得。可以通过https：//groups.google.com/forum/#加入pyphi-users邮件列表！forum/pyphi-users.该软件的基于网络的图形界面可在http://integratedinformationtheory.org/calculate.html上获得。
Integrated information theory provides a mathematical framework to fully characterize the cause-effect structure of a physical system. Here, we introduce PyPhi, a Python software package that implements this framework for causal analysis and unfolds the full cause-effect structure of discrete dynamical systems of binary elements. The software allows users to easily study these structures, serves as an up-to-date reference implementation of the formalisms of integrated information theory, and has been applied in research on complexity, emergence, and certain biological questions. We first provide an overview of the main algorithm and demonstrate PyPhi’s functionality in the course of analyzing an example system, and then describe details of the algorithm’s design and implementation. PyPhi can be installed with Python’s package manager via the command ‘pip install pyphi’ on Linux and macOS systems equipped with Python 3.4 or higher. PyPhi is open-source and licensed under the GPLv3; the source code is hosted on GitHub at https://github.com/wmayner/pyphi. Comprehensive and continually-updated documentation is available at https://pyphi.readthedocs.io. The pyphi-users mailing list can be joined at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/pyphi-users. A web-based graphical interface to the software is available at http://integratedinformationtheory.org/calculate.html.
