Synergistic Information

Information-theoretic measure (Edlund et al.) characterizing interdependencies in agent-environment systems.

Neighborhood — ranked by edge-count

Frameworks (2)

framework
  • Tononi et al. framework quantifying consciousness via integration; provides mathematical tools for measuring agent complexity.
  • Quantitative emergence framework using partial information decomposition and integrated information decomposition.

Concepts (2)

concept
  • Formal notion of what constitutes an individual agent; bridges Buddhist and information-theoretic perspectives.
  • Causal Decoupling
    associated_with
    Emergent causation where macro-variable has causal influence on its own future independently of micro-states.
