It aims to provide a flexible language for expressing causal and probabilistic reachability notions with interfaces to Python and R. ### Computing Descendants with CIfly It is easiest to explain CIfly using concrete examples. We start with the simplest one, namely computing descendants, which can be solved with standard BFS or DFS as well. In CIfly, one uses *rule tables* to specify reachability algorithms. This allows to express complex notions of reachability and we will see these advanced capabilities in later examples. But let's start with the rule table for computing descendants: From c94e5b9e7e924e90d1db6207d07de8a99a7d649c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Marcel=20Wien=C3=B6bst?= Date: Mon, 6 Oct 2025 11:53:14 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 2/2] fix typo in python repo --- ciflypy/README.md | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/ciflypy/README.md b/ciflypy/README.md index 8a510cb..6089063 100644 --- a/ciflypy/README.md +++ b/ciflypy/README.md @@ -1,3 +1,3 @@ # ciflypy -A Python package for using the CIfly framework.
