SURD: Synergistic-Unique-Redundant Decomposition of Causality

SURD is a Python library for decomposing causality into synergistic, unique, and redundant components in complex systems — quantifying how different variables jointly contribute to predicting future states. Developed for turbulence analysis but applicable to any causal inference problem.
