A deterministic automaton consisting of a system of causal states and the transitions between them, functioning as the smallest possible maximally predictive model of a stochastic process Example: With a direct measure of an ε'''-machine’s complexity, the theory gives a computation-theoretic foundation to the notions of model optimality and, most importantly, a measure of the computational complexity of estimated models. Example: The ϵ'''-machine is the organization of the process, or at least of the part of it which is relevant to our measurements. It leads to a natural measure of the statistical complexity of processes, namely the amount of information needed to specify the state of the ϵ'''-machine. […] Using the ϵ'''-machine, we see that the causal states always form a Markov process. This is satisfying ideologically, and has interesting information-theoretic and ergodic consequences.
