Integrated cause information. (a) Causal graph of mechanism $M=\{A,B,C,D\}$ at state $m=\{\uparrow ,\uparrow ,\uparrow ,\downarrow \}$ constraining the purview $Z=\{A,B,F\}$, which has the maximum integrated information of all $Z\subseteq S$ and defines the mechanism integrated information. (b) The black bars show the probabilities when the mechanism is constraining the purview (cause repertoire), and the white bars show the probabilities after the partition (partitioned cause repertoire). The “*” indicates the state selected by the maximum operation in the ID function and defines $Z_c^{*}$.
