At the same time, the [[NIS]] framework also has similarities with the G-emergence theory mentioned earlier. For example, [[NIS]] also adopts the idea of [[Granger causality]]: optimizing the effective macroscopic state by predicting the microscopic state at the next time step. However, there are several obvious differences between these two frameworks: a) In the G-emergence theory, the macroscopic state needs to be manually selected, while in [[NIS]], the macroscopic state is obtained by automatically optimizing the coarse-graining strategy; b) NIS uses neural networks to predict future states, whereas G-emergence relies on autoregressive techniques to fit the data. | At the same time, the [[NIS]] framework also has similarities with the G-emergence theory mentioned earlier.
