pycauset.causal_matrix

pycauset.causal_matrix(n, populate=True, **kwargs)

Factory function for creating a pycauset.TriangularBitMatrix suitable for representing a causal relation.

Parameters

• n (int): The dimension of the causal set (n×n).
• populate (bool): If True (default), fills with random bits (p=0.5). If False, returns an all-zeros matrix.
• kwargs: Passed through to the backend constructor.

Returns

• TriangularBitMatrix: A new instance of pycauset.TriangularBitMatrix.

Example

import pycauset

c = pycauset.causal_matrix(1000)
c_empty = pycauset.causal_matrix(1000, populate=False)
