=== Causal emergence theory based on effective information ===

The first relatively comprehensive quantitative theory using causality to define emergence is the causal emergence theory by [[Erik Hoel]], [[Larissa Albantakis]] and [[Giulio Tononi]] <ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" />. This theory defines causal emergence of Markov chains as the phenomenon that the coarsened [[Markov chain]] has a greater causal effect strength than the original Markov chain. Here, the causal effect strength is measured by [[effective information]]. This indicator is a modification of the [[mutual information]] indicator. The key distinction is the use of [[do-intervention]] to transform the state variable at time <math>t</math> into a [[uniform distribution]] (or [[maximum entropy distribution]]). The [[effective information]] indicator was proposed by [[Giulio Tononi]] as early as 2003 when studying [[integrated information theory]]. Building on  [[Giulio Tononi]]'s work, [[Erik Hoe]]l applied effective information to Markov chains, leading to the development of the causal emergence theory.
